A Unique Opportunity for SMEs

This website provides information about the Innovation Vouchers Scheme formerly known as the INDEX (Innovation Delivers Expansion) Scheme, and invites Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to apply online for an Innovation Voucher.

Innovation Vouchers is a unique demand-led innovation voucher scheme that invites SMEs to apply for a £3000 voucher to purchase academic support from 1 of the 13 universities in the West Midlands.

Innovation is not just about technology but also the management of the innovation process. It is about doing things differently to improve effectiveness and/or efficiency.

If you own or manage a small or medium sized company (up to 250 employees) and you want to improve your business performance through innovation, you could be eligible for an Innovation Voucher. The Innovation Voucher scheme aims to build links between universities and SMEs through creating a demand led approach to supporting innovation.

The application system is now closed to applications. If you wish to be added to our mailing list to be informed about future rounds of vouchers available please email your name and company name to enquiries@innovationvouchers-wm.org.
