Fashion and textile companies can apply for funding for research and development (R&D) grants as part of the Creative Industries Cluster Programme, funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council and part of the Industrial Strategy.

“This is very much a collaborative research and development effort, with industry defining the challenges and then leveraging academic expertise to help create solutions. Being led by industry in this way means we are focussing on fixing real problems and working with the businesses that have the means to implement solutions and maximise the benefit to industry and the UK.”

Professor Stephen Russell, Programme Director of FFF
