Approval is sought to drawdown the final tranche of Future Innovation Fund (“FIF”) funding from the re-purposed Brexit Resilience Fund to allow a third call of the Fund to be opened for applications.
Approval is also sought to adjust the terms of the FIF programme to allow the FIF funding allocation to be combined with CA approved (on 20 September 2021) allocation to the Growth Platform of £1m of ERDF LCR High Growth Programme funding in order to increase the scale of the FIF under a new name, the “High Growth Innovation Fund”.
