The Smart and Connected Social Places (SCSP) Innovation Fund provides grants of between £10,000 and £100,000 to support 5G and advanced wireless technology projects across Glasgow City Region.

The fund's aim is to think differently, to be relentlessly person-centred, to innovate at scale, and to push the boundaries on how connectivity, digital, and data can enable smart and connected social places that transform services and improve lives across the Glasgow City Region (GCR) and provide a blueprint to accelerate step-changes in outcomes across Scotland and the UK.

This fund is specifically designed for SMEs, charities, social enterprises, CICs, and housing associations – aiming to create innovative solutions that drive digital transformation, provide a space for projects that address key challenges in local communities, particularly in housing and connected care and wellbeing. Projects can also relate to business intelligence and data that underpins these areas.
