NATEP are pleased to announce two further calls for funding

NATEP are pleased to announce two further calls for funding: Autumn 2022 & Spring 2023.

The key deadlines for each call are as follows:

All projects should align with the ATI Strategy ATI-Tech-Strategy-2022-Destination-Zero.pdf, and projects must be SME led and collaborative with at least one other partner involved.

SME’s are able to recover 70% of their development costs, with full details and how to apply available by visiting Apply For Funding – National Aerospace Technology Programme (natep.org.uk).

You can join the application process at either stage, but we strongly recommend early engagement with the Technology Managers who will guide you through the process and avoid any wasted effort.  For the South West, you can contact the WEAF Technology Manager, Eric Bray, by email at eric.bray@natep.org.uk, and he will respond and advise your next steps.

A large number of beneficiaries in the South West have developed technologies for Aerospace through NATEP funding in the past, and you can read of their experiences by following the links below which provide a wide variety of technologies that have gone on to successful outcomes:
