正文(英文) | 10/09/2020 The government is extending funding through its Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, managed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), to three challenge areas that are developing solutions for key global challenges, including climate change, disease and ageing societies. The UK will be further cemented as a global home for future technologies across battery development, advanced medical treatments and robotic solutions thanks to a £65 million cash boost, Science Minister Amanda Solloway announced today. The government is extending funding through its Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, managed by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), to three challenge areas that are developing solutions for key global challenges, including climate change, disease and ageing societies. The £65 million investment includes:
Tony Harper, Challenge Director for The Faraday Battery Challenge said: “In order for batteries to play their full environmental and economic role in achieving Net Zero, we need to deploy at scale and build supply chains for today’s technology, shift from strong potential to commercial dominance in a new generation of batteries and continue to build world-class scientific capability to sustain us into the future. “The announcement today confirms our commitment and determination to build on the hard-won progress the UK has made in the last 3 years on all these fronts and to accelerate progress post Covid-19.” Robots for a Safer World Challenge Director Andrew Tyrer said: “I am delighted that Government has provided an extra £15m funding to help academics and businesses bridge the gap to complete on-going delivery of the challenge, and also utilise knowledge gained to the benefit of new sectors, such as agriculture, construction, logistics and healthcare.” Andy Jones, medicines manufacturing challenge director, said: “When we set up Advanced Therapy Treatment Centres we expected them to play a key role in not only bringing advanced medicines to people suffering from life limiting illnesses, but in establishing the UK as a foremost centre for life sciences. 1 in 8 worldwide clinical trials in advanced therapies now take place in the UK and nearly 60 specialist companies are headquartered here. “The centres are developing the systems to support advanced therapies, so that the NHS can treat a wide range of conditions, including cancer, blindness and rare diseases in children. I welcome the extra funding which will allow the UK’s cell and gene therapy industry to continue to grow at pace and volume.” Please sign up to our weekly newsletter to keep up to date: Share: |
