CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
£121M is shared across all three strands of the competition, so individual awards will be a fraction of that total pool.
The source does not disclose how many awards are made or the typical grant size per winner. Competition is likely meaningful given the programme's national profile and the number of strands competing for the same £121M envelope.
WHAT IT TAKES

Develop your feasibility study proposal and innovation case — 2–4 weeks
Submit application via Innovate UK before the deadline — 1–2 days
WORTH KNOWING
The £121M is shared across three competition strands — pre-deployment trials, feasibility studies, and deployment trials — so applying to the strand that best matches your current technology readiness level is important for competitiveness.
