Enterprise M3 had £20m European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to be allocated to projects in support of research and innovation, SME competitiveness, digital growth and low carbon initiatives. The current ERDF programme funding has been guaranteed by The Treasury, which means the contracted ERDF projects will continue to run up to the end of 2023.
All calls to apply to lead new ERDF projects are now closed.
You can learn more about ERDF funding by watching a range of short videos just launched on the Enterprise M3 LEP You Tube channel to highlight the EU funding still available via Enterprise M3.
The videos showcase past success stories, including businesses and organisations awarded funding for digital hubs and invite organisations to apply for Regional Development Funding when the Reserve Fund is announced.
From 1 April 2024, the responsibility for LEP functions across the Enterprise M3 LEP region has transferred to Hampshire County Council and Surrey County Council.
The Enterprise M3 Board met for the last time in March 2024 and Enterprise M3 LEP is no longer operating as an organisation.
For any enquiries relating to economic development across the counties of Hampshire and Surrey, please visit the Hampshire County Council website and Business Surrey respectively.
Please note that Enterprise M3 LEP staff have transferred to Hampshire County Council to continue to deliver services and activities in Hampshire, including the Growth Hub, the Careers Hub, work on key business sectors, and trade and investment.
