ISCF Transforming Foundation Industries: Building a Resilient Recovery
The Transforming Foundation Industries (TFI) Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) will shortly be opening a competition to fund innovation that ensures fast recovery from the Covid-19 outbreak through improved productivity and sustainability. The Foundation Industries (FI) span metal, glass, paper, ceramics, cement and bulk chemicals.
For this competition, both single-sector applicants and cross-sector consortium can apply for up to £1 million for projects that demonstrate how they address resource/energy efficiency within the foundation industries, and support resilience and sustainability of the sector and its supply chains, aligned to the objectives of the wider ISCF Challenge.
