TRL 5 innovative tech (and process) solutions can be deployed whilst demonstrating reasonable and surmountable costs for adoption within the user groups targeted. - Deployment and focus within the Monmouthshire and Cardiff area with a view to being scaled to the wider CCR region. - Demonstrator models will be deployed in South Wales and therefore lead organisations and collaborative partners based in Wales would be of particular interest. - Solutions that can demonstrate intention to strengthen local supply chains or local economy opportunities will also be keenly observed. - Demonstration of solutions that can be delivered within the required timescales will be required.
