It is crucial for the UK to adopt newer, more intensive process technologies that are scalable, flexible and tolerant to alternative feedstocks. Enhancing capabilities will also need the adoption of advanced digital solutions that utilise the right data to increase productivity.
Innovate UK Business Connect can support organisations in connecting across sectors and capabilities to meet these new business needs. We will also encourage the development and adoption of processes for synthesis and catalysis that offer commercial advantages, and help increase adoption of techno-economic, whole-system approaches to optimised solutions.

Innovate UK and partners launch an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) to accelerate next-generation low-carbon concrete
An AMC is a promise to buy an innovative product before it is widely available in the market. By sending a strong demand signal, these commitments unlock investment and help innovators move from prototypes to full scale production much faster. Designed to speed up development and commercialisation, this AMC is paving the way for UK concrete innovation adoption.
