Funding and Innovation support for the Aerospace and Defence sector

We can support your company throughout the entire lifecycle of an Innovation project, from IP Management and Grant Funding, to R&D Tax Relief and Patent Box.

Architecture & Building Industry Tax Relief

Many architecture firms undertake qualifying R&D activity on a daily basis but fail to take advantage of R&D Tax Relief.

Automotive & Logistics Industry Tax Relief

Opportunity for R&D tax relief in the automotive and logistics sectors has increased thanks to significant technological changes over the last few years.

Apparel & Textile Industry Tax Relief

The technical textiles sector has seen some of Britain’s most interesting innovations in the international arena and it is extremely important for it to be encouraged and rewarded through R&D tax incentives.

Electrical & Electronics Industry Tax Relief

Research and development is a key area for electronics companies. However, due to the nature of the sector, finding the eligibility for R&D tax incentives essential for funding future projects can be ambiguous. ABGI UK has helped secure substantial sums of R&D tax credit claims for many electronics clients.

Engineering Industry Tax Relief

We help hundreds of engineering and machining companies find the right innovation funding and incentive solution for their business.

Food, Drink & Agriculture Industry Tax Relief

Many in the farming and agriculture industry unknowingly engage in R&D activities on a daily basis that could qualify for a significant tax credit.

Life Sciences Industry Tax Relief

ABGI UK works with a host of biotechnology, life science, scientific services and consultancy companies, recovering substantial sums that can be used to fund future research and development projects.

Manufacturing Industry Tax Relief

ABGI-UK helps manufacturing companies navigate the complexities of applying for innovation funding, ensuring that businesses already benefitting maximise their entitlement, as well as enabling those encountering the process for the first time to achieve a smooth route through it.

Oil & Gas Industry Tax Relief

If you are a company where you have people and costs associated with project activities aimed at advancing what you do, then you could be eligible for funding in the form of grants, tax incentives or commercial funding.

Pharmaceutical & Chemical Industry Tax Relief

Pharmaceutical and Chemical companies are some of the traditional R&D companies, advancing science and technology on a regular basis. Did you realise that those issues you’re dealing with in the pilot plant relating to raw material variability, or unexpected results when scaling up formulations, could all be eligible for R&D tax incentives and innovation funding?

Software & IT Industry Tax Relief

Software and IT companies are engaged in constant efforts to improve their products. In order to drive business growth and meet the expectations of increasingly demanding customers they must take risks, experiment and innovate or face inevitable stagnation in a brutally competitive industry. In other words, they must carry out R&D. Many companies are benefiting from R&D tax relief on their software development expenses.

Waste & Recycling Industry Tax Relief

Waste management is an area of continuing innovation, particularly in response to an overall drive toward resource efficiency, and likely to be eligible for significant funding to accelerate future innovation and business growth.

European Grants

Our team of consultants have extensive experience developing applications throughout a range of European Grants – Horizon Europe, Eureka – Eurostars and, in particular, EIC Accelerator

EIC Accelerator

The EIC Accelerator provides financial support to high-risk/high impact innovations with the potential to create new markets, transform existing ones and contribute to societal challenges.

Build on scientific discovery, radical thinking or technological breakthroughs (‘deep tech’). The innovation activities need to be currently at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or above.

This grant is designed to support the most promising and innovative projects and is managed by the European Innovation Council.

✅ It is an instrument for the market launch of innovative new products, services and business models that have the potential to stimulate growth.

✅ It provides funding for the latest developments right up to their market launch.

If you are a UK SME you can apply for a grant (only) up to €2.5m to cover a maximum of 70% of your total eligible costs. If you are a European Member State you can apply for blended finance (grant and equity) and or investment up to €10m.

EIC Programmes – journey

An overview of how EIC schemes fit together as parts of a continuum of support for innovation, from early-stage research through to scale-up and inclusive participation.

EIC Pathfinder

Supports very early, high-risk, high-reward research and visionary ideas (TRL ~1-4). Aims to generate new scientific or technological breakthroughs that could later underpin disruptive innovations.

Find out more

EIC Transition

Bridges the gap between research and innovation: validating and demonstrating technologies in more relevant environments, maturing business cases, and preparing for commercial development (TRL ~3-6). Often builds on outputs from Pathfinder or from other research funding.

Find out more

EIC Pre-Accelerator

Targets early-stage deep-tech startups (especially in widening / lower-performing innovation regions) to build technology, business, and investor readiness (e.g. from TRL ~4 to ~6). Acts as a stepping-stone to position startups to apply later for the EIC Accelerator or attract private investment.

Find out more

EIC STEP Scale Up

A newer “pilot” initiative (2025 onward) to provide larger scale investment support to companies developing strategic technologies (e.g. digital, biotech, clean tech) critical for European competitiveness. It operates within or alongside the Accelerator framework but is targeted at higher funding amounts (e.g. €10-30 million) and strategic domains.

Find out more

EIC Accelerator

Focused on supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startups with innovations that are ready to enter and scale in markets (TRL ~5-9).

Provides a mix of grants and equity / investment support, plus coaching, mentoring, and business acceleration services.

Find out more

Women TechEU

A targeted initiative under the European Innovation Ecosystems programme, providing grants (€75,000 non-dilutive) plus coaching, mentoring, business support, and networking to women-led deep-tech startups. Designed to help women-led ventures prepare to scale, including possibly applying for EIC Accelerator and other schemes.

How they “fit together” in practice

These programmes are designed to cover successive stages of the innovation lifecycle, allowing a promising idea or technology to progress from first concept, through validation and demonstration, to commercialisation and scale, with the right type of support at each stage.

→ Organisations might begin with Pathfinder (or other research funding) for early disruptive ideas, then use Transition to test and mature these in relevant environments, before entering Accelerator or STEP Scale Up for commercial deployment and scaling.

→ Pre-Accelerator is complementary: it helps startups (especially in less developed innovation regions) to build readiness so they can successfully compete for Accelerator funding.

→ Women TechEU is a “side path” that runs in parallel: giving women-led deep tech startups early support so they are better positioned to enter the main EIC ladder (Accelerator, etc.).

→ The STEP Scale Up is more selective and specialised, intended for firms in strategic technology domains needing larger capital injections, acting as an escalation route beyond standard Accelerator funding.
