Fuel business transformation

Anything from developing bespoke software solutions, integrating front-end and back-office systems to automate tasks and improve efficiencies, innovating with AR or VR, or introducing AI to improve productivity.

Our High Impact Grant can help if your project costs between £25,000 – £100,000. We’ll provide financial support worth up to 50% of the project costs (maximum grant value of £35,000), with the remaining balance being invested by your business.

To be awarded one of these grants you’ll need to provide more detailed justification for the project and how it will significantly impact and transform your business. These grants will also be subject to more stringent procurement processes to ensure compliance with Public Procurement Regulations. You’ll be supported by your dedicated Digital Advisor throughout the whole process, and they’ll be on hand to guide you through the procurement process from preparing the tender brief, advertising the project on your website, through to reviewing and evaluating tender proposals.

Please note, Digital Enterprise West Yorkshire is a continuation of the DE3 programme. Due to the limited funding for this extension, unfortunately we cannot offer a Digital Accelerator Grant or High Impact Grant to businesses that previously received a High Impact Grant under DE3.

Showcasing success

If you’re successful in your application for a High Impact Grant, your business and your digital project will become part of our celebration campaign which recognises the most digitally innovative and transformative businesses in West Yorkshire.

As part of the campaign, you’ll be featured as a written or video case study on our website and across social media as well as joining us at our celebration event – all to recognise the success of your project and shine a spotlight on how businesses across West Yorkshire continue to embrace and grow through digital investment.
