The SME Programme is the Aerospace Technology Institute’s funding programme tailored specifically to SMEs that are developing high-impact technological innovations (TRL3-6) within the supply chain and civil aerospace sector. Grants of up to £1.5m are available to fund these projects, and in order to maximise the benefits to SMEs, the ATI has ensured that at least 50% of the total eligible project costs must go to the micro, small and/or medium business in the consortium.
