Aim of the competition
The aim of this competition is to help all sectors of the UK rebuild after the effects of Covid-19. All projects must be led by a business and include at least one SME. Proposals can either be from a single business or a collaboration. Covid-19 has affected R&D across all sectors, and our aim of this competition is to help all sectors of the UK recover, grow and create new opportunities from the aftermath of the global health pandemic. Your proposal must show evidence of key challenges as a direct consequence of Covid-19, and how your project can help solve them. In addition, we expect your proposal to ensure that any recovery, growth and opportunity is clean and sustainable.

- geographic or regionally-targeted innovation
- innovation that is aimed at commercial or residential users
