The UK’s Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is now welcoming applications for the fourth round of its successful Technology Developer Accelerator Programme (TDAP). The open call is welcoming micro, small and medium-sized companies, who are developing technology, products or services that aim to reduce emissions and are relevant to the automotive industry, to apply for up to GBP100,000 in funding to help bring their proposition to commercialisation.
A phased process over 18-months, TDAP supports technology developers on the journey from concept to viable market venture. Projects will benefit from not only funding, but also access to industry experts who help identify routes to market, protect intellectual property and validate the technology.

Josh Denne, TDAP Manager, said: “We welcome applications from developers with early stage low-emission innovation – either on or off vehicle. Through TDAP, the APC hopes to kick-start a company’s commercialisation journey.”
To apply for the TDAP programme, the innovative technology should otherwise demonstrate a strong potential impact in one of the key five areas of technology outlined by the Automotive Council; Power Electronics, Electric Machines, Electrical Energy Storage, Digital Engineering or Thermal Propulsion Systems.
Projects can apply for the TDAP programme by visiting www.apcuk.co.uk/tdap and expressing their interest.
The APC is issuing application packs to eligible applicants on an ongoing basis. The closing date for applications is 15th January 2020 with a target start date of April 2020.
