New case studies

Discover the technologies demonstrated in phases 3 and 4

£7 million has been awarded to 13 projects as part of the IEEA Phases 3 and 4. Across all four phases, over £28m in public and private match funding has been invested across 30 IEEA projects since 2018. Grant contributions have been between £130,000 and £1 million, typically providing around 40-60% funding, with the remainder funded by the projects themselves.
