Description
Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, runs this Growth Cohort to accelerate concrete decarbonisation. It aims to recruit up to 20 ambitious businesses across the sustainable concrete supply chain, working collectively with industry to remove adoption barriers and help innovative solutions secure investment and scale to market. Businesses must already have started building traction in the construction industry.
This is the entry stage of a potential two-stage programme. Stage one funds development of an ambitious, executable innovation and growth plan, supported by a dedicated Cohort Manager. The resulting tailored funding and support package forms the basis of a stage-two proposal. Only successful stage-one participants meeting cohort entry stage gates can apply for the invite-only second stage.
