Resource-efficient or Bio-based Materials and Manufacturing Competition

UK businesses and partners can apply for grants for innovative feasibility studies in advanced low carbon manufacturing.

The aim of this competition is to help the UK become a destination of choice for advanced low carbon manufacturing. By funding feasibility projects, the competition aims to realise three strategic imperatives for UK materials and manufacturing, which are:

• Net zero and resource efficient.
• Resilient and responsive.
• Technologically advanced and digital.

Projects must relate to one or both of the following themes:

• Theme 1: Resource efficient materials and manufacturing
• Theme 2: Sustainable bio-based materials and biomanufacturing

IUK encourages simultaneous demonstrations on how the sectors will be more resilient or technologically advanced.
