Experience of Funding
IRDG has experience over 30 years of supporting member companies to identify and secure the most appropriate grant funding for their initiatives. Member companies have received hundreds of millions in grant funding since we were set up in 1992. Member companies are also maximizing their tax incentives through our involvement and support on R&D Tax Credits and Intangible Assets.
We have now used all of this knowledge and experience to help us to guide and support members to identify and source the most suitable funds and complete an application. As with any advice, the best way to really understand something is to discuss it and time is always available for members to do just that.
“…Members know the context. People appreciate that they contribute where they can and do so openly and with a willingness to share. The quality of responses is fantastic, and when you have so many other pressing challenges, the benefit of being able to save some time by tapping into the experience of others and save reinventing the wheel is really valuable. The IRDG team have created a powerful environment which facilitates openness and communications, which is highly valued by us.”
