Derbyshire Dales District Council is inviting local digital technology businesses to take advantage of new funding opportunities available through the extended UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) programme.
The initiative, which has already supported a range of innovative local projects, has been extended to continue helping businesses modernise their operations and grow through the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.
The previous round of UKSPF support helped unlock investment in pioneering ideas from Dales-based companies, including White Peak Design & Build Ltd, which invested in drone and scanning technology to enhance surveying capabilities, and Digital Urban, which creates immersive virtual experiences to engage communities in built environment proposals.
“These are exactly the kinds of projects we want to see more of,” said a District Council spokesperson. “We know there are many talented and forward-thinking digital businesses in our area – this funding is here to help turn their ideas into reality.”
Grants can support a wide range of investments – from software and equipment to product development and digital transformation.
