Swell

Swell helps decarbonisation-focused businesses develop projects and access funding for innovation. The company specialises in research and development (R&D) and capital projects, particularly in zero-emission maritime and renewable energy. Its approach starts with building strong, commercially relevant projects, then identifying and pursuing funding opportunities to help bring them to life.

Swell supports clients throughout the funding process, including project development, grant readiness and grant writing. Rather than waiting for a competition to open, the team prepares in advance, helping shape compelling proposals and build capable project consortia. Swell also helps businesses incorporate R&D incentives into their innovation funding strategies, working with delivery partners so incentives and grants can be used in harmony.

The company says it has helped clients secure more than £17 million in funding since 2022, supporting projects expected to remove over 90,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, with a success rate above 90%. Swell works with businesses across the United Kingdom, Europe and New Zealand, and welcomes conversations with organisations developing ambitious projects with the potential to make a positive impact.
