Marketing and market research activities are not always subject to grant funding but in recent years there have been increasing opportunities to leverage funding for market research that feeds into the R&D activities of a product development process.
Accelerate provides bespoke market research solutions to aid commercial decision making in the medical technology and laboratory markets.
As we specialise in early stage medical technology market assessments, we would like to raise awareness that a wide range of market assessment activities could be eligible for grant funding.
