This open call looks to develop solutions to issues that have arisen in three critical areas; data governance, reporting and verification of emissions across the food supply chain, and cybersecurity vulnerability. Applications are invited from companies interested in working with programme collaboration partners from the Digital Supply Chain Hub ecosystem.
This open call aims to promote the wider adoption of carbon accounting in global supply chains. The programme is open to startups and innovators developing digital technology solutions for storing and exchanging product carbon footprints (PCFs) effectively. As part of their solution, tech innovators and startup solutions should utilise some of the cutting-edge digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, distributed ledger technology, and advanced identity solutions.
Accelerating the adoption of digital innovation in supply chains requires multi-party collaboration. Technology innovators must develop digital solutions that address key supply chain challenges while business owners need to invest in robust digital infrastructure to facilitate these solutions within their organisations and across their supply chain partners.
There is increasing pressure from all angles on UK manufacturing and its supply chains. This affects businesses and individuals who rely on the swift and sustainable flow of goods and services.
Digital solutions, innovation and collaboration are the tools needed to address the challenges that stand in our way, slow us down and damage our environment.
Together we need to make our supply chains smarter.
Offering a range of funding opportunities to develop and implement challenge focused technology solutions.
Access to a support network of industry and technology experts to help develop impactful yet achievable outputs.
From manufacturers, startups and researchers we form peer-to-peer interactions and learnings at every level of the programme.
Participation in our ecosystem events, showcase experiences, plus networking opportunities with the full community.
We’re about the ground-level, backed by our partners and advisory, the programme is led and shaped by industry.
We seek to unlock and accelerate UK innovation, adopting advanced digital technologies for the UK supply chains and industrial sector.
Being at the forefront of industry innovation the hub is part of the Made Smarter Innovation initiative
Based on our insights and expertise, we’ve designed the hub to to develop insights and solutions critical supply chain challenges
We are currently in the early stages of developing supply chain tools and we’re looking for testers within our ecosystem. This will be the first step in a process of continual improvement, helping us to tailor the service to you. You will be asked to feedback on the platforms around usability, data quality and functionality.
