Discover funding opportunities for hydrogen solutions in the automotive industry

 

About the session

The DRIVE35 Scale-up Fund is a major, ongoing grant programme from the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) designed to accelerate UK innovation in zero-emission vehicle technologies.

This one-hour online session will spotlight funding opportunities in hydrogen mobility, covering fuel cells, storage systems, vehicle integration, and scalable manufacturing. By fostering collaboration between industry and academia, the Scale-up Fund enables ambitious R&D projects that drive the commercialisation of next-generation hydrogen solutions.

You’ll gain insights into:

• Gain a clear understanding of DRIVE35 funding priorities and how to access the Scale-up Fund.
• Learn about GW-SHIFT’s support offer, including bid development assistance and joint letters of support.
• Explore how to form or join strong industry–academic consortia across the seven GW-SHIFT universities (Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Swansea, Plymouth, and the University of South Wales).

Whether you’re working in hydrogen technologies or considering adopting hydrogen solutions, this session will give you a clearer understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with hydrogen safety.

Who should attend?

This session is ideal for:

• SMEs and scale-ups developing hydrogen vehicle or component technologies
• Academics and researchers seeking industrial collaboration
• Innovation leads and business development professionals in the automotive and hydrogen sectors

Follow-on Opportunities

Participants will be invited to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to access up to five days of bid development support, including proposal review and a joint GW-SHIFT and SETsquared letter of support to strengthen applications.

If you’re developing or adopting hydrogen technologies, this session will provide practical knowledge to support your work and help you stay ahead of regulatory and industry best practices.
