Parliament Highlights Minerva Innovation Group as Leading R&D Specialist

Minerva Innovation Group has been recognised in Parliament for its success and growth in the R&D funding space.

The motion submitted by Clare Haughey MSP highlights that Minerva Innovation Group “has helped innovative businesses across the UK and Ireland access many millions of pounds in R&D funding, supporting growth, innovation and high-quality employment” and “acknowledges that the resulting R&D funding contributes positively to science locally and internationally” (The full motion is available here).

Importantly, the motion received cross-party support from Members of the Scottish Parliament, including SNP, Labour, Conservative and Independent MSPs. This recognition from across the political spectrum demonstrates a shared understanding that our industry-leading approach plays a vital role in supporting innovation and financial growth for SMEs in the UK and Ireland.

Parliament commended (Minerva Innovation Group’s) "core values of honesty, diligence and forward thinking”, which further reflects our growing recognition as trusted R&D specialists. We understand that no two R&D agents are the same, and this motion stands as a testament to the quality and integrity of our work.

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to interact with local politicians, including Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, during his visit to our Rutherglen office. These moments reflect Minerva Innovation Group's desire to engage with policymakers and community leaders, as we believe collaboration between industry and government is key to ensuring innovative businesses receive the support they need to thrive.

Earlier this month, we were proud to be shortlisted for Fair and Healthy Workplace of the Year at the 2025 Glasgow Business Awards — recognition of our ongoing commitment to sustainable recruitment and employment practices, including our industry-leading parental leave policy of 57 weeks regardless of gender, which promotes gender equality and socio-economic mobility in the UK and Ireland.

At Minerva Innovation Group, our core values guide everything we do — from helping clients navigate complex R&D claims to building a culture that values transparency, collaboration, and innovation.

As we continue to grow in Rutherglen and Dublin, we remain dedicated to empowering businesses, supporting SMEs, and helping science and innovation thrive locally and internationally.
