This Launchpad competition supports the Government’s goals in the Levelling Up White Paper.
The projects will contribute to the Great South West’s ambitions for net zero targets and support key regional strategic marine and maritime markets.
Your proposal must align to the scope criteria for this competition.

It is your responsibility to ensure you submit your application to the correct strand for your project. You will not be able to transfer your application and it will not be sent for assessment if it is out of scope.
In applying to this competition, you are entering into a competitive process.
This competition closes at 11am UK time on the deadline stated.
