Basildon For Business - The KEEP+ Programme

KEEP+ is a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) programme that will enable your business to achieve its goals for growth by helping you overcome barriers to innovation.

The purpose of the KEEP+ programme is to support business investment in research and innovation (R&I) and to foster collaboration between business and the higher education sector.

By connecting your small to medium sized enterprise (SME) to academic expertise and graduate talent the KEEP+ programme will help give a boost to your business by supplying the research and development support needed to help you launch new products and services..

KEEP+ is specifically designed to help small to medium sized enterprises to:

• develop new products or services;
• increase profitability;
• reduce costs;
• provide you with a stepping stone to larger-scale innovation opportunities;
• access graduate talent.
