3. Industry, Public Funding & Innovation Bodies
Engineering Research
Government & Other Public Bodies/Agencies:
Automotive Council UK
EUCAR (European Council for Automotive R&D)
EGVI (European Green Vehicles Initiative)
AESIN (Automotive Electronic Systems Innovation Network)
EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council)
InnovateUK

Horizon2020
High Value Manufacturing - Digital Catapult - Transport Systems
Government and industry have worked hard to create an ‘innovation ecosystem’ that delivers for the UK, business and Government. Funding from collaborative research partners is a catalyst for action and brings together organisations who might not ordinarily work together, sharing knowledge, expertise and costs amongst participants.
Collaborative research partners:
Bring together those who have good ideas with those who can commercialise them
Respond to domestic demand for technology which can lead to UK manufacturing
Improve the UK’s investment offer by bringing together R&D interests from business, research and academia in one place
