Our innovation voucher scheme with tertiary education has been increased for SMEs by up to €10,000 to try to form partnerships. If it is a small, manufacturing process, they could examine how they could innovate and improve their productivity. Those grants are important to help the smaller industries and SMEs, some of which are just around the kitchen table. There are so many important funding streams there. As well as trading online and digitalisation, we have bespoke schemes for them through the SME package, which is very important.
