Wireless & Communications grants
5G/6G, spectrum and secure comms funding
Spectrum efficiency, resilient networks and non-terrestrial connectivity are funded across Innovate UK, ESA and Horizon Europe. Winning proposals link a specific physical-layer or protocol innovation to a measured performance gain, not to a market forecast.

Live programmes from the UK grant directory that suit wireless & communications projects. Deadlines move between rounds, so each listing links through to the current detail.
Horizon Europe
[Horizon - Industrial Competitiveness in Transport] Enhanced resilience in multimodal passenger transport through digital technol…
What the Grant Supports This call supports the development and large-scale demonstration of AI-driven and data-enabled solutions that improve the resilience of multimodal passenger transport systems across Europe. The focus is on enabling transport networks (urban, suburban, and long-distance) to anticipate, manage, and recover from disruptions such as congestion, extreme weather, infrastructure failures, cyber incidents, or operational shocks. Projects should use digital technologies and AI (including generative and discriminative AI) to improve real-time decision-making and system coordinat…
Horizon Europe
[Horizon - Industrial Competitiveness in Transport] Increasing competitiveness and resilience of multimodal freight transport and…
What the Grant Supports This call supports digital, data-driven and AI-enabled transformation of European freight transport and logistics systems, with a focus on improving multimodal transport (rail, road, inland waterways, and short sea shipping) and strengthening supply chain resilience. Projects must develop and demonstrate solutions that improve integration, visibility, efficiency, and disruption management across freight logistics networks and corridors. Funding can support: * Digital tools for multimodal freight coordination and optimisation * Interoperable logistics platforms and data…
Horizon Europe
[Horizon - Industrial Competitiveness in Transport] Road Safety and resilience of rural areas
What the Grant Supports This call supports the development and large-scale demonstration of digital, AI-driven solutions that improve the resilience of multimodal passenger transport systems across Europe. The focus is on enabling transport systems (urban, suburban, and long-distance) to **anticipate, absorb, and recover from disruptions such as congestion, extreme weather, infrastructure failures, or cyber incidents. Funding can support: * AI-powered disruption prediction and response systems * Real-time data analytics for transport network management * Digital twins of passenger transport s…

UK Space Agency
Connectivity in Low Earth Orbit (C-LEO) Programme – Call 3: National Only Route
This call is for UK-registered companies (commercial applicants must be registered with Companies House), universities and research organisations developing satellite communications hardware/software at TRL 4 and above, aiming to reach TRL 7+ industrialisation and commercial readiness. SMEs can apply as sole applicants (prime) or within a consortium, provided they can demonstrate credible matched funding, a clear route to market, and strong alignment with one or more of the five target technology areas. Only UK-based organisations are eligible — no foreign entities, and a foreign lead custome…
