Innovate UK KTN is hosting a virtual drop-in where you can meet with KTN experts in Chemistry and Net Zero. KTN can help match expertise to your Tees Valley Net Zero Launchpad proposal and connect you with other organisations to facilitate collaborations.
You will be able to talk to:

The Tees Valley has been chosen as one of just two locations to pilot a new initiative to build on local innovation strengths – with an initial £15million investment available to support businesses.
Part of UK Research and Innovation, Innovate UK’s Launchpad pilot will invite small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to apply for competitive grants starting at £15,000 for innovation projects that focus on the region’s energy and renewable sector. Grant funding of up to £1million is available for projects that provide exceptional impact to the cluster of SMEs.
Successful applicants will receive wrap-around support from local and national organisations, with innovation funding and support available in areas such as Hydrogen, Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), Offshore Engineering, Materials and Processing, and Circular Economy.
