Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, will invest up to £14 million from the Transforming Foundation Industries Programme to support projects that demonstrate innovation at an industrial scale. The aim of the competition is to fund research and development projects that demonstrate future technologies, capable of addressing the resource or energy efficiency challenges of the UK’s Foundation Industries. These will be cross-sector, collaborative, demonstration projects. Your proposal must include significant industry investment.
This is stage 1 of a 2 stage competition:
- ISCF Transforming Foundation Industries: Demonstrators Expression of interest (EoI) (this stage)
- ISCF Transforming Foundation Industries: Demonstrators – Full stage: This will be by invitation only to applicants who are successful in the EoI stage.
This programme of events will help bring to life some of the key themes that will make up the competition and make connections across the industries.
