Infrastructure systems are the backbone of economic stability, growth competitiveness productivity.

There is \u00a3425 billion of planned public and private infrastructure investment in the UK to meet the challenges and make the most of our world-leading capabilities in this area.<\/p>\n

This includes infrastructure solutions in: planning; engineering; architecture; energy; and the intelligent mobility of people and freight. We also have a strong base of creative start-ups in the digital economy and excellent academic research to support this aim. We\u2019re particularly interested in projects in our priority areas for infrastructure systems.<\/p>\n

These are smart infrastructure that improves whole-life performance and\/or cost and resilience; energy, including:energy systems that flexibly match changing energy supply and demand profiles at local, regional or national scale; nuclear fission innovations that lead to major cost reductions, improved asset integrity and develop the supply chain; offshore wind innovations that result in significant reductions in the cost of energy; connected transport that encourages more efficient transportation of goods and people across more than one mode; urban living, addressing the challenges people face in urban areas<\/p>\n

The competition opened on 10 July 2017, and the deadline for applications is 13 September 2017. Projects must be led by a UK business or research and technology organization. You may work alone if you are an SME and your project is under one year with costs of less than \u00a3100,000. Otherwise, you must work with partners, including at least one SME. Total project costs can range between \u00a325,000 and \u00a35 million, and last up to 3 years.
