4. Aims
of
today’s
briefing
• To
bring
the
scope
and
guidance
to
life
so
you
fully
understand
the
scope
of
the
compe&&on
and
the
relevant
rules
and
processes
for
applying
for
and
undertaking
a
project
• To
give
you
the
opportunity
to
ask
us
ques&ons
and
get
appropriate
guidance
• To
highlight
the
role
of
the
KTN
and
Catapults
in
making
connec&ons
that
may
help
you
before,
during
and
aWer
a
project
• To
highlight
the
role
of
the
Catapults
in
providing
some
of
what
you
may
need
for
a
project
• To
provide
you
with
networking
opportuni&es
with
others
in
the
innova&on
landscape

5. What’s
new
• You
will
be
aware
that
a
lot
is
changing
in
our
approach
to
compe&&ons
– Breadth
of
scope
– Timing
of
compe&&ons
– Applica&on
ques&ons
– Decision-­‐making
processes
– Applica&on
submission
system
• This
is
the
first
main
compe&&on
under
this
new
approach
so
there
is
something
here
for
previous
and
new
applicants

7. CONTEXT
How
the
compe&&on
fits
with
our
Delivery
Plan

9. The
UK’s
innova7on
agency
We
know
that
true
innova&on
disrupts.
It
will
create
new
products,
services
and
industries
that
we
don’t
even
know
about
yet.
It’s
our
vision
to
help
the
UK
economy
grow
head
and
shoulders
above
other
na&ons
by
inspiring
and
suppor&ng
pioneering
UK
businesses
to
create
the
industries
of
the
future.
We
already
have
a
strong
track
record
of
driving
growth,
by
working
with
companies
to
de-­‐risk,
enable
and
support
innova&on.

11. A
new
phase
• The
start
of
a
new
Spending
Review
period,
2016-­‐20
• The
government
plans
to
publish
a
Na&onal
Innova&on
Plan
in
2016.
• Part
of
this
will
be
Innovate
UK’s
new
strategy,
describing
our
aims
over
the
next
four
years.
• Meanwhile
our
Delivery
Plan
explains
what
we
are
doing
in
the
first
year
of
this
new
phase
–
the
financial
year
2016/17.

12. “Whether
you
have
a
small
or
large
business
or
are
involved
in
any
way
in
innova&on,
this
plan
will
explain
how
we
are
working
this
year
to
accelerate
its
pace
-­‐
and
ul&mately
increase
UK
produc&vity
and
growth.”
Ruth
McKernan,
Chief
Execu3ve

13. Important
changes
We
are:
• aligning
our
programmes
into
new
simpler
sector
groups
• changing
our
sector
funding
compe77ons
to
be
simpler
and
broader
in
scope
• enhancing
our
innova7on
networks
-­‐
na&onally
and
regionally
• pilo&ng
compe&&ons
for
new
innova7on
finance
products
• Introducing
a
new
online
compe77on
applica7ons
system
–
the
Innova&on
Funding
Service.

16. Funding:
simpler
compe77ons
• Two
broad
compe&&ons
for
funding
in
each
sector
group
this
year;
each
open
to
a
much
wider

of
applica&ons
than
previously
• An
‘open’

programme
–
with
two
rounds
per

-­‐
for
applica&ons
from
any
technology
area
or
sector
• Compe&&ons

18. Connec7ng:
strengthening
our
networks
• We
help
businesses
grow
by
connec7ng:
linking
them
with
academics,
government,
new
partners
and
funding
opportuni&es.
• We
provide
direct
guidance
and
help
business
navigate
all
the
support
opportuni&es
that
exist.
• This
year
we
will
build
support
through
the
Knowledge
Transfer
Network
(KTN)
and
Enterprise
Europe
Network
(EEN),
helping
innova&ve
businesses
na&onally
and
regionally.

19. New
innova7on
finance
products
Businesses
at
different
stages
of
their
development
can
benefit
best
from
different
forms
of
innova&on
support.
We
are
preparing
to
widen
our
range
of
products
beyond
grants
in
future.
Later
this
year
we
will
run
three
pilot
compe&&ons
for
new
innova&on
finance
products.

21. COMPETITION
AIMS
AND
SCOPE
What
this
compe&&on
is
about

22. Compe&&on
aims
• To
s&mulate
and
broaden
innova&on
in
manufacturing
and
materials
• To
increase
produc&vity,
compe&&veness
and
growth
– with
a
focus
on
SMEs
in
par&cular

23. Compe&&on
scope
–
the
‘must
haves’
• To
be
in
scope,
a
project
must
cover
one
of
the
following
areas:
– innova7on
in
a
manufacturing
system,
technology,
process
or
business
model
– innova7on
in
materials
development,
proper7es,
integra7on
or
reuse
• The
innova&on
proposed
must
have
cross-­‐sector
applicability
• You
must
show
how
your
proposal
will
enable
a
step
change
in
produc7vity
and
compe77veness
for
at
least
one
UK
SME
involved
in
the
project

24. Compe&&on
scope
–
the
‘should
haves’
• For
this
compe&&on
specifically
we
would
like
to
encourage
applica&ons
featuring:
– the
novel
applica&on
of
a
digital
technology
or
approach
to
manufacturing
or
materials
development
– design
for
manufacture,
use
and
end-­‐of-­‐life
• We
believe
these
capabili&es
will
help
businesses
get
and
stay
ahead
of
the
compe&&on
• We
are
not
expec&ng
all
projects
to
have
these
elements
if
they
are
not
relevant
to
the
innova&on
or
the
market
being
addressed

25. Compe&&on
scope
–
the
‘should
not
haves’
• In
this
compe&&on,
we
won’t
fund
addi&ve
manufacturing
projects
that
focus
on
innova&on
in
the
addi&ve
process
or
its
applica&on
– There
is
an
upcoming
compe&&on
launching
on
May
23rd
• We
won’t
fund
projects
that
focus
on
product
innova&on
where
there
is
no
challenge
and
innova&on
in
the
manufacturing
process
or
materials

26. Compe&&on
scope
–
examples
In
scope
Out
of
scope
For
example,
a
project
focused
on
developing
new
material
proper&es
for
a
sensor
or
probe
to
allow
it
to
operate
in
a
harsh
environment,
or
using
sensor
data
to
op&mise
a
manufacturing
process
(such
as
in
a
factory
or
refinery)
would
be
in
scope.
But
a
project
focused
on
the
development
of
a
new
sensor
or
probe
without
a
focus
on
manufacturing
or
materials
challenges
would
not
be
in
scope.
For
example,
a
project
addressing
challenges
in
the
chemistry
of
a
formula&on,
leading
to
a
process
innova&on,
would
be
in
scope.
A
project
developing
a
new
formula&on
using
exis&ng,
well-­‐understood
processes
would
not
be
scope.

27. Business
leadership
and
collabora&on
• All
projects
must
be
led
by
a
UK-­‐based
business
• All
projects
must
involve
at
least
one
SME
• If
project
costs
are
less
than
£100,000
then
an
SME
can
work
alone
on
the
project
or
with
partners
• If
the
project
costs
are
£100,000
or
more
then
the
project
must
include
at
least
two
partners
working
collabora&vely

28. Project
size
and
dura&on
• The
innova&on
project
must
last
between
6
months
and
3
years
• We
expect
projects
to
range
in
size
from
£50,000
to
£2
million
• If
you
wish
to
apply
for
a
project
outside
this

but
you
should
contact
us
at
least
10
days
before
the
registra&on

to
discuss
further
• Project
size
and
dura&on
will
depend

project
aims
and
type
of
expected
outcomes…

29. Research

• We
need
to
account
for
State

83. Why
Je-­‐S?
• The
Research
Councils
Joint
Electronic
Submission
System
(Je-­‐S)
is
being
used
to
collect
ALL
academic
finance
forms
• Also
to
collect

details
from
non-­‐HEIs
(e.g.
RTOs)
that
are
claiming
they
are
carrying
out
academic
quality
work
and
want
to
be
funded
on
an
FEC
basis
• The
Je-­‐S
system
automates
the
collec&on
of
Full

(FEC)
based
costs
from

and
tells
them
exactly
what

should
be

in

for

• Using
Je-­‐S
enables
Research
