Innovation Funding Service

The Innovation Funding Service (IFS) competition search page is an official UK government portal that lists open and upcoming funding opportunities for research, development, and innovation projects. Managed primarily by Innovate UK and other public bodies, it enables businesses, researchers, and organizations to find and apply for grants, competitions, and collaborative funding across sectors such as sustainability, construction, clean energy, manufacturing, and digital technology.

Each listing includes eligibility criteria, funding amounts, deadlines, and project themes, supporting the UK’s strategy to drive technological advancement, economic growth, and net-zero transition. The portal also provides guidance on application processes and partnership requirements, helping innovators connect with government-backed opportunities.

In essence, the page acts as a gateway to national innovation funding, promoting collaboration and investment in projects that deliver sustainable, high-impact technological and environmental outcomes.
