The Scottish Enterprise Cross Mission Implementation grant offers grants of £15,000 to £100,000 to help eligible Scottish businesses deliver projects that support growth, productivity, innovation or more efficient use of resources.

This grant can support new or improved products, services and ways of working, new technology, growth, capital investment, and the skills or specialist expertise needed to help businesses deliver the project. 

This grant does not cover feasibility studies, early-stage ideas or day-to-day business activity. 

Businesses can apply for between £15,000 and £100,000. The grant can cover up to 30% of eligible project costs, with the remaining costs covered by the business. 

Businesses must pay the cost upfront and claim the eligible funding by the agreed date. 

Projects normally last up to 12 months and be completed within the available funding period and by the agreed project end date. 

Funding is awarded under Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA) rules, which limit the amount of public funding a business can receive.
