SBRI Energy Efficient Lighting Competition Awareness
The Technology Strategy Board has announced a £1.2m product development competition in energy-efficient lighting to develop new products for the lighting industry. Businesses will be invited to compete for contracts through a Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) competition, which will be run in two phases. In the first phase, companies will be awarded up to £40,000 to carry out technical feasibility studies, lasting up to 3 months. In the second phase, proposals with the most promising technologies will receive up to £450,000 to develop and evaluate prototypes or demonstration units, which will then be subjected to a vigorous 6-month field trial. The first phase of the competition opens on 22 February 2010 and the deadline for applications is 19 April 2010.
The Photonics and Plastic Electronics KTN and Technology Strategy Board are hosting two awareness events for the competition.
