GMCVO in partnership with The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) are providing an information session on the Foundational Economy Innovation Fund.
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) will help provide the funding, expertise and support to make it happen, linking you with other likeminded innovators in a growing community across Greater Manchester.
What’s on offer?
£10,000 grants for up to 40 projects, plus expert support, to test innovations and ideas in phase 1
£60,000 grants for up to 10 projects, plus expert support, to develop the best ideas from phase 1
Who is it for?
The Foundational Economy Innovation Fund is for the “foundational economy”.
That’s the “everyday economy”, or the “essential economy” – the businesses we all rely on for our daily needs.
We’re starting with four sectors:
-
adult social care
-
early education and childcare
-
retail
-
hospitality, leisure and tourism
The fund is for you, if you:
-
own or run a business, social enterprise or cooperative in these sectors
-
support or represent a cluster of businesses in one of these sectors
-
can provide technology and / or innovative solutions or new ideas that could be used in one of these sectors
