This funding helped project consortia to develop, test and demonstrate the feasibility of novel concepts or transformational technologies, products and services in business.The latest round funded 11 projects involving 24 organisations across clusters in Space, EnergyTech, HealthTech, and Digital, including 4 projects in Quantum, funded through a highlight call in partnership with the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC).You are invited to join our webinar to hear from some of the innovative businesses that received a grant under the Cross-Cluster Proof of Concept Programme in 2021/2022.
