In 2017, we set out on a mission to transform the R&D funding industry. Guided by a client-first approach, we created a service that combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by SMEs.

Since then, Kene Partners has become a trusted name, helping businesses unlock over £135 million in R&D benefits and delivering outstanding results across industries.

Today, we’re excited to share the next step in our journey—our evolution into Kene. This rebrand is about more than a new name; it’s a reflection of who we’ve become, where we’re heading and how we’re working to serve our clients even better.

Our renewed mission

Our renewed mission is clear: to enable SMEs to turn opportunity into growth and growth into impact. With this purpose at the heart of everything we do, we’re here to simplify the complexities of funding and provide ambitious businesses with the tools they need to thrive. Whether it’s through R&D tax credits, innovation grants, or the Patent Box, we’re focused on helping you achieve success while creating meaningful, lasting change in your industry and beyond.

This transformation aligns with our vision: a future where every SME has the tools to innovate, grow, and make a meaningful impact. For businesses, this means having a partner who not only simplifies funding but champions your goals, your ideas, and your progress.

As a Certified B Corp, we’re proud to balance profit with purpose. This means upholding the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility while delivering services built on trust, expertise, and care. Every step we take is about supporting your growth while contributing to a brighter, more sustainable future for industries and communities alike.

Our dedication to clients remains unchanged

Our new name and identity reflect the growth and ambition of our business, but what hasn’t changed is our dedication to you. Since day one, we’ve been passionate about turning challenges into opportunities and delivering services that exceed expectations.

This rebrand reaffirms our commitment to the businesses we serve and the industries we support. We’re excited about what lies ahead and grateful to have you on this journey with us.
