Proof of Concept 1 – £200k, 12-18 months: Provides proof an existing scientific concept holds in the test environment e.g. a particular food matrix, or a new ingredient has a health effect
Proof of Concept 2 – £100k, 6-12 months: Provides proof an existing scientific concept holds in the test environment — smaller and shorter than PoC 1
Demonstration – £50k, 3-6 months: Demonstrate a proven scientific concept applies in near to market conditions
Innovation Sprints – £20k, 2-4 week: Seed funding to address scientific and innovation challenges at any stage from discovery to commercialisation
Networking Awards – £10k: Funding for inter-sector networking events and workshops which address scientific and innovation challenges at any stage from discovery to commercialisation
Mobility Awards – £10k: To support international/industrial placements to pursue collaborative work on scientific and innovation challenges at any stage from discovery to commercialisation

Please select which innovation challenges are of interest to your organisation. (Select all that apply)

Unlocking Nature’s Potential – Boosting protein quality and quantity from the complete biome i.e., plants, microbes (fungi, bacteria), insects, food waste, aquaculture (aquatic plants, seaweeds, micro/macroalgae)
Protein Discovery – Identifying important peptides present in traditional proteins that offer the desired functionality, mouthfeel and nutritional benefits and replicating these in APs, through cutting-edge tools
Structuring for Functional and Nutritional Benefits – Structuring APs using colloidal expertise including microgelation, targeted enzymatic fragmentation, creation of cultivated meat, hybrid technologies, and health-led formulation to enhance finished product functionality, whilst improving nutritional value, minimising allergenicity and sensory issues
Enabling Sustainable Bioprocessing at scale – Accelerating industrial AP production, bringing costs down by deriving best practice from fermentation-intensive industries, developing optimisation tools supporting the transition towards continuous processes that improve efficiency and reduce manufacturing footprint
New metrics and standards for product quality and environment – Creating standardised and validated new metrics to quantify technical, nutritional, sensory, quality and safety of APs, objectively
Acceptability and accessibility – Encouraging consumer behavioural shifts across a wide range of age, culture and socioeconomic status towards acceptance of APs including cultivated meat
