Get Involved: Expressions of Interest for Local Innovation Partnership Fund (LIPF) now open

Net Zero Industry Wales, the South Wales Industrial Cluster, and partners across the region are preparing to bid into UKRI’s Local Innovation Partnerships Fund (LIPF) – a £500m revenue grant fund which will run over a five-year period.

We are seeking expressions of interest for anchor projects and wider project opportunities from stakeholders across local authorities, industry, academia and third sector.

Our theme is: Industrial Resilience – Material & Energy Security 🌍

Our focus will be on:

• Supporting the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy and investment into Wales
• Driving circular reprocessing and circular economy principles, which are areas where South West Wales already excels
• Promoting material security and energy security across the board

Think your project fits the bill? Want to be involved in making Wales a leading clean energy transition hub and a cornerstone of the UK’s industrial base?
