Seeking SCRIPT Investment?

Here's how it works:

Discuss your project proposal with the Regional Innovation Coordinator (RIC): script.ric@gmail.com.
If your project aligns with SCRIPT objectives, you will receive the Project Application Form to complete and submit.
Project Application Forms will be received and reviewed by the Regional Innovation Coordinator in the first instance. If they appear to meet SCRIPT criteria, the application will be passed on to the Steering Committee for appraisal.
Steering Committee meetings are typically held the third Thursday of each month. Application forms and supporting documents need to be submitted to the RIC by the first Friday of the month to be included in the monthly review.
You may be invited to pitch your idea to the committee and afterwards, they may ask further questions to ensure the project fits their investment criteria.
The Steering Committee will then determine an outcome (approved/not approved at this stage/conditional).
If approved, and once any conditions have been met, you will accept responsibility for the program and sign an investment agreement with SCRIPT.
Following the delivery of your program, you will need to submit feedback as part of the acquittals process, to a satisfactory standard, as deemed by the Steering Committee.

To discuss your project proposal further, contact: script.ric@gmail.com
