Government-funded digital support for SMEs in the South West
Free expert guidance to help your business use technology more effectively, improve productivity, and support sustainable growth.
Techosaurus has been selected as an approved expert consultant for the Tech Adoption for Growth programme. This government-backed initiative, delivered by Business West, provides practical support to businesses looking to make better use of digital tools and technology.
If your business is based in the West of England, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire or Wiltshire, you may be eligible to receive fully funded support.
Technology adoption is not about becoming more technical. It is about using the tools available today more intentionally.
Tech Adoption for Growth is a government-backed pilot designed to help small and medium-sized businesses improve productivity through better use of digital technology.
The programme provides practical, hands-on support to help organisations adopt and use tools such as:
AI and automation
Data management
Customer relationship management (CRM) systems
Search engine optimisation (SEO)
Digital marketing and social media
Accounting software
Digital systems and workflow tools
Website and digital brand strategy
The focus is not theory or generic advice. The aim is to help businesses make real, measurable improvements to how they work.
How the support works
Businesses accepted onto the programme are assigned to one of two support routes as part of the pilot.
Route 1 - One-to-one consultancy
Some businesses receive personalised support from an approved technology consultant.
A digital diagnostic to identify opportunities
Tailored guidance on tools and systems
Regular one-to-one support sessions
Practical recommendations focused on productivity and growth
Techosaurus is one of the approved consultants delivering this type of support.
Route 2 - Expert-led workshops

Peer learning and knowledge sharing with other businesses
The allocation between consultancy and workshops is decided independently as part of the programme evaluation.

Our role in the programme
Techosaurus has been selected as an approved expert consultant for the Tech Adoption for Growth pilot.
Businesses that are assigned to the one-to-one consultancy route may be able to request a preferred consultant during their initial diagnostic session. However, consultant allocation is managed by the programme team and cannot be guaranteed.
Regardless of the route assigned, all participating businesses receive high-quality support as part of the programme.
Apply for fully funded support
If your business is interested in improving productivity through better use of technology, you can apply directly through the official programme application.
Applications are assessed for eligibility by the programme team.
Tech Adoption for Growth is a research-led pilot supporting up to 500 businesses across the region.
Places are limited and applications are assessed on a rolling basis, so businesses are encouraged to apply early.
