Analysis for Innovators (A4I) Round 3 - Competition Briefing & Webcast

The latest round of the A4I programme from Innovate UK and its partners (NPL, NEL, LGC & STFC) has now opened with up to £3m is available in total for Round 3. De-minimis and matched grant funding options will be available for successful Round 3 A4I projects.

The competition guidance document and the online application form can be found here.

A4I is a very different programme from Innovate UK – as it is designed to help UK businesses address difficult problems that restrict their potential productivity and competitiveness. The scope is very wide (chemical, physical, biological and computing) but the problems must be of a measurement or analysis nature.

A4I targets real industry problems that exist with existing products and processes. As such it is of interest to companies that have not traditionally considered applying for funding. Any size of business, with any type of measurement or analysis problem, are eligible to apply.

To submit a problem to Stage 1, you simply have 4 questions to answer:

1) What is the problem;

2) What have you tried before if anything to solve it;

3) What do you estimate the savings to the business would be if this problem is solved and why;

4) State the location and password of a short video uploaded which helps describe your problem, if you want to record one.
