Analysis for Innovators Round 14

04 September 2024

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, is investing in small collaborative innovation projects working with their chosen Analysis for Innovators (A4I) partners 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 related to products, services and process owned or used by the company. These are problems that can be best explored by scientists and cutting-edge facilities available in the UK.

The pivotal factor contributing to the success of Analysis for Innovators lies in the Brokerage Meetings facilitated between participating companies and experts affiliated with the program. These sessions provide an opportunity for companies to engage in discussions with experts willing to 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.
