The innovation programme offers flexible funding to help innovators, entrepreneurs and businesses turn projects into solutions that benefit Jersey’s economy, environment and community.

Up to £500,000 will be available per quarter (with a maximum of £1 million available in 2025 and £2 million during 2026).

CXTech

The CXTech Programme provided targeted, match-funded support to help innovators, entrepreneurs and businesses deliver technology-driven solutions that enhanced customer experiences, productivity and efficiency across Jersey’s visitor and retail economy.

Open to both local and global applicants, the programme supported pilot projects and scalable innovations aligned with Jersey’s strategic priorities in tourism, hospitality, retail and logistics. With a simplified process and tailored guidance, CXTech helped turn ideas into impact.

Up to £500,000 in grant funding was available, awarded on a 50/50 match-funding basis, unlocking a total programme value of £1 million.

CareTech

The CareTech Programme provided targeted funding to help innovators and care providers deliver technology-driven solutions that improved independence, wellbeing and care outcomes for Jersey’s ageing population.

Open to applicants both locally and off-island, the programme supported pilot projects and scalable technologies that addressed key challenges in Jersey’s health and community care system. These included helping people live independently at home, stay connected to their communities, and reducing hospitalisations through proactive and preventative care models.

 

Open Programme One

We were looking for Jersey innovators, entrepreneurs and problem-solvers with bright ideas that could change Jersey for the better.

The first Open Programme offered small grants to innovative proposals that introduced technology or services addressing the Island Priorities. Successful applicants were awarded up to £75,000 to contribute towards their work over a period of up to a year.

About Open Programmes

Open Programmes offer funding to people and businesses seeking to implement or grow innovative technological solutions that address key issues facing the island.

We are encouraging courageous-thinking and are open to support higher-risk projects provided they demonstrate substantial benefits for the people of Jersey.

We will work closely with all entrants to assess and evaluate their ideas to mitigate risks and regularly review our processes to continue to improve the programme.

"We want to support and reward big thinkers and problem solvers to drive positive change for the island and its people."
