TBAT Innovation have launched The Innovation Challenge, bringing together key partners to support SMEs to innovate!

The Innovation Challenge has been designed by TBAT’s expert team to stimulate and support innovation in SMEs by leveraging the expertise of their unique partner network.

Powered by TBAT, The Innovation Challenge will see partners come together to deliver four free to attend, vibrant and informative workshops on the topics of:

  • Finance – All you need to know to fund your business growth
  • People & Recruitment – Why recruit the best people you can?
  • Product Design & Protection – How to design and protect your innovation
  • Business Strategy & Marketing – The importance of external help


These topics are barriers that many innovative businesses face, and can cause delays to R&D projects or taking innovative products to market. By discussing these problematic areas openly, the challenge aims to highlight opportunities to reduce the effects of these barriers. The workshops will be held throughout Spring 2022.

In May 2022, following the workshops, applications will open for businesses to submit a full business plan and be eligible to win a £5,000 cash prize and tailored support packages from a selection of the partners.

The Innovation Challenge is free to register and take part, open to any UK SME looking to innovate and grow. To be eligible to apply for the prize package, applicant business must be an SME based in the UK, have a sustainable business strategy and be working on a disruptive hardware or software project.


To attend the workshops and join The Innovation Challenge, companies must register through the application form here. The closing date for registrations is 25th February 2022.
