Innovation loans briefing events open september 2019 slides to shareKTN
Innovate UK, the Knowledge Transfer Network and the Enterprise Europe Network hosted a briefing event for the second of two Open innovation loans competitions in the extension of the award-winning pilot programme, which is currently open for applications.
Innovate UK is extending its pilot programme of loan competitions. A total of £50 million has been committed to 70 borrowers in the initial pilot and a further £25 million is available for business innovation projects. This is the second competition in the pilot extension. Innovate UK is working to broaden the range of innovation finance support available to businesses, so they can access funding at all stages of innovation. Innovation loans are for UK small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that want to scale up and grow through innovation, developing new or improved products, processes or services. They can be used for late-stage research and development (R&D) projects, which have not yet reached the point of commercialisation.
Innovate UK is to offer up to £10 million in loans to SMEs for innovative late stage projects. The aim of this competition is to provide loans to help SMEs to undertake innovative projects with strong commercial potential across any sector or industry. Innovation loans will offer affordable, patient, flexible, repayable funding for later-stage research & development projects with a clear route to commercial success.
The deadline for applications in this competition is noon on 27th November 2019.
The purpose of the briefing event is to provide vital information to enable businesses to decide if an innovation loan is appropriate for them and, if so, to develop a clear and compelling application that shows that they have an innovative project and are suitable for a loan.

Jonathan Chippindale (Holition), Jennifer Davies (Nabil Nayal), Prof Jane Harris (London College of Fashion), Lynda Petherick (Accenture UK) - Chair, Caroline Rush (British Fashion Council), Prof Stephen Russell (Uni of Leeds)
Like other areas of the creative industries the entire fashion ecosystem is in flux with multiple points of destabilisation. Rather than fear or deny this disruption the UK Fashion industry seems poised to embrace it. But to do so it needs to answer a range of challenges which spread across multiple research disciplines. We explore the nature of these challenges and how they are being met in a fast-moving global sub-sector of the creative industries.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Preliminary findings from OECD field visits for the project: Enhancing EU Mining Regional Ecosystems to Support the Green Transition and Secure Mineral Raw Materials Supply.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

10. “Immersive experiences are new forms of content, new narrative
mechanisms and a new language around production which spans the
Creative Industries…..
“The best technology will not produce the step change needed
without equal excellence in content production and understanding of
immersion as a narrative form.
“The UK must ensure it is the most highly skilled nation producing
content that exploits these technologies”
Sir Peter Bazalgette Independent Review of the Creative Industries
11.
12. Audience of the Future
To capture new global audiences and grow our leading market position
in creative content, products and services by adopting, exploiting and
developing immersive technologies.
Challenge Statement
*
13. • Immersive technologies (AR, VR, XR) are the most significant and
potentially disruptive technologies to impact the Creative Industries
since the web in the mid 90s
• They present both opportunities and threats to the UK’s current level
of global competitiveness as both IP creator and production centre
• Global commercial opportunity for UK Creative Industries is through
content/experiences enabled by immersive technology rather than
platform or hardware
Audience of the Future Rationale
14. That by 2025 UK is a global market leader in the creative immersive sector.
1. UK creates 10% of global creative immersive content
2. The UK Creative Industries sustains its above average growth.
3. The UK has a low barrier of entry for producing high-quality immersive content,
4. The UK has an increased skilled workforce to create immersive content.
5. Increased private investment in immersive technology and experiences
Programme Objectives
*
15.
16. • Audience of the Future is central to Creative Industries Sector Deal
• High expectations that AoTF will de-risk investment
• Identifying/ testing viable audience propositions & business models
• Innovation in production tools/reskilling workforce
• Industry engagement across the value chain
• Specialists in AR/VR/XR companies but also…
• Content studios, IP owners, creative technology companies, hardware
providers, platforms operators, investment community, distributors
Industry Context
17. Audience of the Future – £33m grant funding
• Ambitious, pre-commercial
content innovations using
global IP.
• New experiences that advance
the state of the art and test with
real audiences at scale.
• Large collaborations across the
supply chain to explore future
commercial models.
• Talent development and
experimental production

Audience of the Future – a £56m programme
19. 19
Demonstrator Programme: rationale
• That UK Creative Industries future success in Immersive economy will be
based on our strength in innovation in content, experience and business not
in technology
• That investment in AR/VR/MR/XR at scale is currently held back by lack of
clear audience propositions, forms and formats that could underpin
commercial models and unlock required investment
• The current market is largely pre-commercial, with much current work
innovation driven, small scale, promotional or ancillary rather than seeking
revenue generating opportunities from new audiences.
• Public investment in a series of large scale, pre-commercial, collaborative
experience demonstrators could stimulate content innovation, audience
testing and business modelling at scale, provide sectoral learning and
unlock investment.
20. • Up to £16m; Max Grant £4m
• 4 areas identified with industry as maximum opportunity
• Performance
• Moving Image
• Sport Entertainment
• Visitor Experience
• Looking for projects that can significantly advance creative,
technology and commercial state of the art across a whole sector
Demonstrator Programme: overview
35. 35
Demonstrator Programme: Objectives
• Innovation: we will support industry led consortia to develop NEW
audience experiences that show they can significantly advance the
current state of the art
• Insight: each large scale demonstrator must reach an audience of
>100,000 in order to learn lessons at scale
• Capacity building/knowledge sharing: each consortium should
have sufficient reach to advance knowledge across their sector and
a plan for how to do that*
36. 36
What do we mean?
• Significantly advance the current state of the art
• Creative proposition
• Audience Proposition
• Commercial Proposition
• Technical implementation
• Reach >100,000 users across the lifetime of the project
• One or more audience propositions or tests
• Gather audience data
• Derive commercial insight
• Use globally recognised IP
• To reach audience
• To address rights and IP issues
• To inform commercial models
37. 37
Ambition and Scale
“Each one of these demonstrators would be
the biggest creative VR project in the world at
the moment”
Jeremy Bailenson, Director Stanford VHI Lab
38. 38
Ambition and Scale
• This is a very ambitious programme
• but absolutely not just a VR one
• We are looking for gamechangers
• not just the next thing (a bit bigger)
• or the same thing (a lot bigger)
• or something that isn’t core to the future of the sector
• The scale of funding available is beyond people’s current
experience
• in thinking, in project scope, production, scale of experience, talent
• but we need to spend it wisely
39. 39
Consortia
• To meet the ambition we think you will need to engage the
whole value chain:
• Specialist XR companies but also, academic and industry R&D
teams, IP owners, rights holders, content and experience
producers, GFX, Studios, talent, hardware, technology platform
and distribution partners
• In a consortium with a vision to impact the sector not just
deliver a project for a single company or institution
40. Immersive Experiences: multisensory narrative or
interactive audience experiences mediated through
technologies including:
• virtual, mixed and augmented reality (VR, AR, MR)
• haptics
• advanced visualisation
• other sensory interfaces
Definitions
41. Moving Image
• Repeatable audiovisual audience experiences currently created for display
on screens, including TV, films, games, animation and online media.
• These can
• be narrative, interactive or game-based experiences
• be fictional or factual in nature
• include adaptations from source material in other media
• We are particularly looking for immersive audience experiences that use
moving image expertise to create new audience propositions with mass
market and commercial potential.

My name is Daniel Wan and I’m the Lead Creative at Alchemy VR.
I never quite know how to describe Alchemy - but the best way to sum us up is that we’re a factual/educational/documentary VR and AR content studio.
Some might even describe us as ‘edutainment’ company – but I’m not sure how I feel about that term.
Alchemy VR spawned from a successful television production company called Atlantic Productions, and they’re probably best known for their work with David Attenborough… who features heavily in the next five minutes!
What I’m going to do in this presentation is run you through our journey – from flat screen TV to state of the art VR.
As a company, we are always looking for new ways to tell the story, whether that’s through an innovative technology or a completely new medium.
Back in 2010 – we started exploring the capabilities of 3D, setting up our 3D production studio, Colossus. This was first step on the road to VR.
Collaborating with Sky TV, we produced five 3D films featuring the Sir David. The one pictured here on the right – Natural History Museum Alive – won a BAFTA four years ago for Best Specialist Factual.
In 2015 – our move into Virtual Reality began in earnest.
We were filming David Attenborough's Great Barrier Reef, a TV series for the BBC.
The series took Sir David to his favourite place he has ever visited – the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
In the series he discovers what has happened to in the 60 years since he last visited, what the future holds and what people are doing to protect it.
During the production process, we realised something.
The submersible Sir David and our crew were diving below the waves in was perfect for 360-degree filming.
As you can see in one of this photo, which is one of my favourite shots from the series…
The sub is essentially a completely see-through sphere of glass, allowing you to see everything around you.
That moment of inspiration became this.
A VR experience that allowed you to sit alongside Sir David in the sub, as you dive beneath the waves.
What could be better than a one-on-one tour of the Great Barrier Reef with the greatest naturalist of our time?
The experience exhibited in museums across the globe and this is what the Australian broadcaster, ABC, said about it after they previewed it at the Australian Museum in Sydney.
It has also exhibited at the National Museum in Canberra
…. The Natural History Museum, London,
… the Trondheim Science Centre, Norway
…. and even at Glastonbury Festival, UK.
It’s also launching on the Sony PSVR and Oculus platforms imminently.
And incredibly, it became the first ever Virtual Reality film to be awarded the first ever BAFTA last year.
Next I’m going to talk about another of experiences – which utilized ‘state of the art’ technology to immerse audiences even deeper.
We were was commissioned by Greenpeace to produce Munduruku: The Fight to Defend the Heart of the Amazon.
The Munduruku are the indigenous people who live on the Tapajos basin in the Amazon rainforest.
The Brazilian government however had plans to build a series of megadams on their land – in which they had no legal rights to, despite living there for hundreds of years.
Part of a wider Greenpeace campaign, the VR was used as a tool to elicit empathy with the global population, and highlight the plight of the Munduruku people
It’s actually a multisensory experience played out in a large pod you step into, made in collaboration with the The Feelies.
Here it is in the press tent at Glastonbury.
We used whole bunch of contraptions to produce heat, humidity, smells, and wind effects.
All to provide that extra level of immersion and make them feel like they were really in the Amazon Rainforest, living amongst the Munduruku,
Here’s what the inside looks like…..
You sit in the chair, put on your headset.
Then heat lamps, scent containers, wind simulators, humidifiers, and a vibrating ‘Sub Pac’ goes to work, automatically synched to what you’re seeing in VR.
You’re even given various objects you’re asked to hold during specific scenes.
The pod toured Brazil and Latin America, as well as the UK Film Festival Circuit.
When I showed this to someone at SXSW – they came out of the experience crying.
I was absolutely blown away.
VR has often been called an ‘empathy engine’.
It has the capability to elicit empathy and emotional empathy with characters and content, on a far greater level than a flat-screen film.
Research conducted by Stanford University has proven this.
Basically, what they say is that the more immersive an experience, the more empathy the viewer feels, and the greater tendency they have towards pro-environmental behaviours.
And most importantly, it looked like we did get into people’s mind and hearts.
The Brazilian Government announced an end to their policy of building dams in the area.
And although we’d like to, we can’t take ALL the credit for this incredible victory, but the multi-sensory VR experience certainly helped to achieve it.
And that truly is the power of immersive technology.
Thank you for listening, and if you have any questions, please do drop me a line.

Just notebooks and business cards …if you are qill colleagues - spread out ! This session has been designed to allow you to meet as many people as possible in a very short time.
You have 5 minutes per meeting in total, for each person to talk about there area of interest & expertise in the immersive space and why they are here today…
if you are looking for partners for an existing project idea
or interested in finding a project to partner on.
Keep it short and concise,
- you’ll hear the train whistle to indicate it’s time to swap over from doing the talking / listening and 3 to let you know its time to move ‘Stage left’ to your next meeting
Share your contact details so you can expand on the conversations after the event – or even in the Swan Bar later today.
Finally, as Andrew has covered this AM, successful demonstrators consortiums will contain a mix - businesses, cultural institutions, research base, IROs or third sector – which is what we have in this room…BUT not everyone you meet in the next hour will be a ‘perfect match’ but hopefully even if they are not a potential partner they will offer you insight into how other people are thinking about the opportunities presented by the demonstrator programme.
