Do you have an innovation challenge that could benefit from research support?

Aberystwyth University is launching a pilot Agri-Food Research Voucher Scheme, offering six innovation vouchers to support applied research projects for businesses, farms, supply chain organisations and community groups in Wales.

The vouchers provide 50% funding towards a research support package, enabling organisations to investigate challenges relating to sustainability, carbon reduction, productivity, resource efficiency, new products, or improved processes.

Successful applicants will receive:

  • Research project development and scoping
  • Specialist research training
  • Academic supervision from Aberystwyth University experts

Projects will be workplace-based, addressing real-world business challenges and generating practical outcomes that can be applied directly within the organisation. 

Applications close: 31 August 2026, 11:59pm. Apply now. 

Innovation can help your organisation to become more competitive, increase sales and enter new markets. Here you can find out what funding and support is available to help you to innovate: Develop innovative ideas for organisations, products or services | Business Wales.
