Resource-efficient or bio-based materials and manufacturing

Overview

The UK has clear potential to become a world-class destination of choice for advanced low-carbon manufacturing. To realise this vision, the three strategic imperatives are for UK materials and manufacturing to be:

• net zero and resource-efficient
• resilient and responsive
• technologically advanced and digital

The aim of this competition is to realise net zero and resource-efficient UK materials and manufacturing. Simultaneous demonstrations of how these sectors will be more resilient or technologically advanced are encouraged.

The Innovate UK materials and manufacturing vision 2050 and the BBSRC strategic delivery plan, provides background for these strategic imperatives.

Your project must fit one or both of the following themes:

• Resource-efficient materials and manufacturing
• Sustainable bio-based materials and biomanufacturing

We want to fund a variety of projects across both themes.

This competition builds on two previous competitions that were open in 2022:

• Resource efficiency for materials and manufacturing (REforMM)
• Sustainable bio-based materials and manufacture
