Judging eligibility can be as quick as a week, with the complete process from application to award often taking around three months. During this time, the team works hard to identify all the potential areas where the business’s project could have an impact, and works with the business to ensure the funding is being used to its full potential. For larger scale funding – often around £200,000 – the decision process can take up to eight weeks. This time scale is to ensure the team at Aerospace Cornwall has identified every possible link the project can have with other sectors.
