Project Title:
Funding Application: Supporting the ERA with its application to Innovate UK
Client Requirements
Market Infra was approached to support the Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) group in applying for Innovate UK funding support. The ambition was to operate a trial of 75 hydrogen-powered heavy freight trucks in the Midlands. Whilst the initial feasibility study had been completed, Market Infra was enlisted to support ERA in converting the initial study into a full funding application proposal, primarily in a bid writing capacity.
Our Approach
Market Infra began by recommending a full set of ‘storyboard’ sessions in which key stakeholders from the trial helped us craft tight, data-supported responses. We worked hard to distil the prior feasibility study to address the specific questions asked by Innovate UK whilst enhancing them with close interaction with project partners.
Challenges
The submission itself was restrictive in terms of wordcount. Each question required significant detail – it was vital to ensure the right data was selected and our responses tight to the questions.
