Funding

Thinking to develop an innovative product or service within the games and entertainment sector? Why don't get support from funding agencies?

Access to national, european and international funding sources is a major opportunity to co-finance innovative products and services. A major european funding programme like the 6th Framework (www.cordis.lu, offers around €15 B in total support, a major national funding agency like EPSRC (www.epsrc.ac.uk) offers over £350 M per year in support. Most programmes require academic as well as industry partners, where the academic institution contributes with advanced technology while the industry organization ensures a marketable product or service and a viable exploitation plan. We can help to identify the apropriate programme, select the right partners and aid in the development of a successful proposal.

For Scottish companies there is an even greater opportunity. Scottish Enterprise (www.scotent.co.uk) supports local companies in business development. That means, if you are thinking to develop a specific product or service which requires some of our innovative technologies there may be an opportunity to get additional funding from Scottish Enterprise.
