The Department for Transport (DfT) has today (6 June) announced 67 projects selected to receive funding through the Transport Research and Innovation Grants (TRIG) programme, which is delivered by Connected Places Catapult on behalf of the DfT. The TRIG programme allows the DfT to fund proof-of-concept research projects with innovation at their heart. Small to medium sized companies and academic innovators use the funding to develop new technologies, products and services to make transport systems function more effectively or enhance the way we travel.[cpc_video cpc_video__url="https://youtu.be/UpcFcibPgUs"]This year’s winners bring the total amount invested through the TRIG programme to over £12 million since it launched in 2014, having funded nearly 300 projects.
Projects supported by this year’s TRIG programme cohort fall within five key challenge areas: Maritime Decarbonisation; Transport Resilience to Severe Weather and Flooding; Future of Freight; Local Transport Decarbonisation; and Improving the Rail Passenger Experience. There was also an open call category for high-potential innovations beyond the defined challenge areas.Some of this year’s winning projects include:
Beyond the funding provided, innovators supported by the programme benefit from tailored business support and the chance to work closely with industry and policy experts.
“By getting funding into innovative start-ups, we are creating jobs of the future and growing vital areas of the economy. Transport Research and Innovation Grants support high-potential innovators to develop their ideas into new products and services. In addition to an injection of funding, companies that join the TRIG cohort benefit from access to experts from Connected Places Catapult to help them on their journey to commercialisation.”Nicola Yates OBE, Connected Places Catapult’s Chief Executive
“From making travelling easier for visually impaired passengers to improving rural connectivity, these winning projects have the potential to transform the future of transport.u0022u003cbru003eu003cbru003e“The Government wants the UK to be a world leader in the future of transport, and through the TRIG programme the Department for Transport is supporting innovators and businesses to decarbonise and improve transport while growing the economy and supporting jobs across the UK.”Jesse Norman, Transport and Decarbonisation Minister
