HyProMag has restored UK rare earth magnet manufacturing for the first time in 25 years, validating new short, medium and long loop recycling routes that deliver high performance magnets while strengthening domestic capability and reducing supply chain vulnerability.

EMR and partners have delivered the UK’s first end‑of‑life offshore wind turbine REPM recovery project, proving safe, scalable disassembly processes that create circular pathways for critical materials and establish Scotland as a leader in next‑generation renewable recycling.

Seloxium is transforming the UK’s approach to critical material recovery with its Selectal™ technology, scaling from lab success to a modular pilot system that extracts valuable rare earths at source—reducing emissions, cutting waste transport and unlocking new domestic supply chain capability.

Nanomox has advanced its OIS® technology from laboratory proof of concept to pilot‑scale validation, demonstrating a cleaner, low‑carbon route for rare earth recovery and creating new global partnerships that position the UK at the forefront of circular critical‑materials innovation.

Through collaborative CLIMATES projects, Ionic Technologies has proven that chemically recycled rare earths can match virgin performance, enabling the UK’s first circular, magnet recycling plant and setting a new benchmark for resilient, low‑carbon critical mineral supply chains.

The Greater Manchester Electrochemical Hydrogen Cluster (GMEHC) is accelerating the development and adoption of green hydrogen technologies across Greater Manchester.

The Energy Accelerator for Non‑Domestic Buildings is accelerating the adoption of low‑carbon building solutions in Greater Manchester, connecting innovators with live commercial and public sector projects.

Join Innovate UK for a webinar focused on the CHIPS Joint Undertaking (CHIPS-JU) programme in April to prepare for the published 2026 calls.

DEVOTE (Development and Validation of Technology for Time-Critical Genomic Testing) is accelerating genomic testing across Greater Manchester through a £2.1m Innovate UK-funded partnership.

The Net Zero Living Programme has launched Local Energy Trackers, giving UK local authorities access to area-wide data to compare performance in renewable energy, EV uptake, and building energy efficiency.
