Summary
Help to Grow & Disability History Month campaign from the Equality and Human Rights Commission
Help to Grow: Digital is a UK-wide scheme to help small and medium size businesses (SMEs) adopt digital technologies that are proven to increase their productivity.
The scheme offers SMEs free and impartial advice on how technology can help their business. An online platform helps them to:
- identify their digital technology needs
- assess technology purchasing options
- implement new technologies in their operations
The scheme also offers eligible SMEs a grant token worth up to £5,000 to cover up to half of the costs of pre-approved, digital technology solutions.
The Help to Grow: Digital scheme launched in January 2022. It will run for 3 years, taking a phased approach over a number of waves. Each wave will provide the opportunity to roll out new technologies and functionalities for SMEs and vendors.
