The expression of interest has been awarded early stage funding to develop a full proposal – to be submitted to UK Research and Innovation by 18 September 2019.

If successful, the programme will attract £18M UKRI funding into the region – for technology proof of concept projects and clinical evidence projects. Projects can be industry or academic-led. They must be match funded by industry (in-kind or direct cash: 30% for micro and small, 50% for large companies).

The meeting on 20 May will provide further information about the opportunity and invite project ideas to define the first 50% of projects to be funded.
