The challenge

  • Understand funding and tax-credit routes while growing quickly.
  • Build innovation capability with limited internal resources.
  • Benchmark decisions against experienced peers.

How IRDG was involved

  • A trusted strategic sounding board and funding guidance.
  • Tax-credit clinics, Design Thinking and AI learning.
  • Site visits, peer events and policy-group participation.

What changed

  • Stronger R&D and innovation processes.
  • A culture of continuous learning and peer collaboration.
  • Greater clarity and lower perceived risk around tax-credit decisions.

The IRDG mix

The value we get from IRDG, across training, funding, networking, and policy, far outweighs any other membership. It just makes sense.
