Analysis for Innovators Round 14 will open in September
Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, is continuing to invest in small collaborative innovation projects working with their chosen Analysis for Innovators (A4I) partners, including Royce, to solve complex analysis and measurement challenges faced by companies.
The aim of the competition is to help businesses address their existing analysis and measurement problems best explored by scientists and cutting-edge facilities available in the UK.
The unique aspect of Analysis for Innovators lies in the Brokerage Meetings facilitated between participating companies and the programme partners. These sessions provide an opportunity to engage in discussions with experts who can collaborate on addressing their specific challenges.
The competition is divided into 2 stages:
Stage 1 – Brokerage consultations with relevant analysis for innovators partners on potential approaches to solving your problem
Stage 2 – Application for a funded project.
Project size: If successful at stage 1, your stage 2 project’s total project costs will need to be between £15,000 and £100,000 and your project can be between 3-6 months in duration.
