Welsh Government Agri-Food Industry Innovation
Supports Welsh food and agricultural innovation through regional programme collaboration and project development.
Welsh Government Agri-Food Industry Innovation is a Welsh Government grant route for food and agri businesses that want to develop a new product, process, or service, or materially improve an existing one. The raw notes place it inside the wider SMART Flexible Innovation Support family and tie delivery to Business Wales, Food Innovation Wales, and the Helix programme. The structured record gives awards from £5,000 to £200,000, a median around £30,000, and a rolling cadence across Wales. It is for for-profit applicants, especially Welsh food and agriculture SMEs, with a TRL band around 3 to 6 and a focus on agri-food and food-processing work. The best fit is a company that can show technical improvement, stronger R&D capability, and a measurable economic benefit in Wales. Applicants are expected to provide business plans and evidence of financial viability, so the strongest cases are commercially grounded and specific about how the project changes the business rather than simply funds experimentation.
