On 26th March 2018, Innovate UK announced that up to £72 million is available to invest in establishing a core innovation hub. The purpose of the hub will be to transform the construction sector and establish a core innovation hub to support industry and academia collaboration.

Innovate UK point to the fact that construction has not benefited from the same productivity increases as other industries; in many respects the way buildings are created has not changed in 40 years. In addition, there is a growing skills crisis as the workforce ages and younger people are not brought in to the industry at a fast-enough rate.

The funding competition is aimed at UK-based research and technology organisations that have substantive existing facilities and expertise, that are able to work with others in the construction sector, i.e. businesses, research base, public sector bodies, and so on. A single, core hub will be funded, with the focus being:

* The creation of better-performing built assets.
* Increasing the adoption of emerging digital and manufacturing technologies.
* The design of new processes to improve construction productivity (build 50% faster, 33% cheaper and with half the lifetime carbon emissions).

The funding competition is part of the government’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, which aims to bring together research and business to tackle the significant socio-economic challenges of the day.

The successful application will be able to demonstrate a commitment from the private sector to invest in, and use, the hub once it has been completed. Projects must also start in August 2018 and last up to 4 years.

The competition is now open, with the deadline being midday on 23rd May 2018.
