What can the High Impact Grant Fund?

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.

Grant restrictions apply if your business received funding and support under the previous Digital Enterprise programme (DE3), which ran from 1 July 2023 to 31 March 2025.

If you received a High Impact Grant under DE3, you are not eligible to apply for either grant under the current programme.

  • Please note: We are not currently accepting new registrations; we have reached capacity and have sufficient applications to allocate our current funding. We don’t yet know if or when further funding will become available. If you’d like to be kept informed of any future developments, please register your interest at digitalenterprise@leeds.gov.uk

Businesses supported through our High Impact Grant have been featured as written and video case studies on our website and across social media, and celebrated at our annual recognition event — shining a spotlight on the digital innovation happening across West Yorkshire.
