We aim to see unique solutions with potential appeal to a broad commercial market, successful applicants will then be expected to trial their proposed solutions with their industry partners for a minimum duration of 3 months.

We will run 4 briefing events in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast. If you are not able to attend any of the briefing events, you can access our live webinar from the London briefing event where you will not only be able to watch and listen in but you can ask our challenge partners any questions you might have.
