Scottish Enterprise SMART:SCOTLAND Grant

Scottish Enterprise SMART:SCOTLAND Grant is the agency's feasibility-style innovation route for Scottish companies, spin-outs, and individuals. It sits under Scottish Enterprise, Scotland's state economic development agency, and the current cycle is suspended while a redesigned fund is prepared for summer 2026. Legacy terms place the maximum grant at £100,000, with support up to 70 percent of eligible costs for small enterprises and 60 percent for medium ones. The route is built around Scotland-based applicants with private match funding in place and ownership of all project intellectual property. The relaunch is intended to keep the route focused on high-growth innovation. The source bundle points to energy transition, space, industrial biotechnology, life sciences, fintech, and critical technologies such as quantum, photonics, and semiconductors. That makes SMART:SCOTLAND a high-growth innovation route, and the teams that fit best are those with a clear feasibility case, a real commercial path, and a project that cannot proceed at the same pace without support.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
