Challenges to tackle include the data economy, healthy ageing, mobility and clean growth. Successful firms will be awarded up to £50,000 to develop their ideas, and those providing the “best potential solutions” will be awarded research and development (R&D) contracts with up to £500,000 to create prototypes of their products, which will then be available for public sector buyers. Tech companies can begin bidding for funding on 14 May for a period of six weeks. Read more here.
