Over the past 16 months, DE3 has awarded grant funding to more than 450 businesses, and committed all of its allocated budget for the current programme phase (DE3), which is scheduled to conclude in March 2025.

Since launching in 2016, DE has provided over £15.5 million in funding to help local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) adopt digital technologies that enhance productivity, drive sustainable growth, create jobs, and promote competitiveness. Offering funding for a wide range of digital technologies from hardware to software, website development, customer relationship management (CRM) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and AI to cybersecurity. This ongoing support has made Digital Enterprise a cornerstone of West Yorkshire’s economic growth strategy.

Suzanne Bradbury, Programme Manager for Digital Enterprise, commented on the purpose of the Top 30, saying, “Digital Enterprise has always been about helping businesses succeed in today’s digital-first landscape. We’re proud of the thirty businesses we are celebrating and the many more we’ve supported along the way. Never has it been more important for SMEs to do more with less, and these businesses exemplify how digital transformation is empowering businesses to thrive, create jobs, and contribute to the economy.”
