Access up to 50% funding to support your project

Our aim is to provide as much support as possible to accelerate the performance of the UK's small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) and we know that we need to build trust and confidence before you invest. That's why our experienced team will only ever recommend solutions where there is a clear value and ROI on the project.

By working with us, eligible businesses can access Innovate UK REACH funding worth up to 50% of your investment based on the amount of time allocated to a programme of work. For every day of support a small or medium sized business (SMEs) invests in a qualifying project, the REACH programme will fund another day. 

Once engaged with Future Cube following initial consultations and confirmation of the work programme, our team will help secure the funding for you. 

*To access the funding you will be required to declare any other state aid that you may have received previously and be classified as an SME.

Book your free, no obligation line walk

To help businesses understand their challenges and how the MTC can help overcome them, the Future Cube offers free initial consultations.

The first step of your journey with us is a line walk of your facility with no obligation to commit to any of the work discussed.

A senior member of the team will visit your facility and conduct a tour of your business’s operations to obtain an initial understanding of the challenges faced, before providing guidance on the best route forward.

Future Cube brings skills and experience from across a range of technologies and, provided we can agree on a business case, the priorities, and an appropriate work programme, we will share with you a proposal outlining how Future Cube could support the implementation process.

For qualifying SMEs, we will also discuss with you the Innovate UK REACH funding that is available to support the cost of your project with us.
