Welcome to Advance Connectivity Technology Networking Hub!
Horizon Europe’s SNS JU provides substantial funding opportunities for UK business-academic consortia, allowing stakeholders to strengthen their technologies and create commercial opportunities.
Join the networking platform to discuss the 2027 calls, and to learn more about the large amount of funding available – 220m EUR.
How can you use this platform?
Collaborate with others and find partners: The platform offers a great opportunity to collaborate with others in your field or industry. Participants can meet potential partners, collaborators, or even competitors and share ideas and insights.
Gain visibility for your organisation: Create an "organisation page" so that others in the community can see what you have to offer and can get in touch.
Post on the marketplace: Share information about your project and what kind of investment you are looking for.
Message individuals directly: Prefer one-to-one contact? Reach out to people directly to see if you’d be a good match to work together.
Book a 20-minute session with a potential collaborator: These meetings are designed to help you quickly assess each other’s interests and expertise, identify common goals, and uncover synergies.
We hope you make some great connections!
Your project must focus on one of the following themes:
-
Theme 1 – Advanced Connectivity Technologies (ACT)
-
Theme 3 – Convergence of ACT technologies for use in connectivity networks
Investor Partnerships
Innovate UK, as part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), has selected investor partners with aligned interests and capacity to lead investments.
These investor partners have demonstrated that they have the credibility, capability, capacity and appetite to invest in innovative, technology-led businesses in areas that align with our strategic priority areas.
The Investor Partnerships programme brings together:
Innovate UK’s expertise in identifying innovation and using grant funding to change the risk profile of businesses; and investor partners’ aligned funding and expertise in identifying opportunities and teams that can best use additional investment finance.
The aim of this competition is to provide innovative SMEs with support for research and development alongside access to the capital investment they need to develop, commercialise and scale their innovations.
This competition targets SMEs with strong growth and scaling potential that have an innovative project aligned with the competition scope.
Innovate UK also provides wider business support, including investment readiness and connections to relevant investors through Innovate UK Business Growth and Innovate UK Business Connect, Catapults and the UK Semiconductor Centre.
This platform will support networking, collaborations, and applications for this competition.
