The CCR Challenge Fund is open to new expressions of interest and seeking challenge ideas from public sector bodies. All projects must address one or more of the following themes:
- Accelerating decarbonisation
- Improving the health and wellbeing of the region’s citizens
- Supporting, enhancing, and transforming communities
The Challenge Fund will support public sector bodies to tackle urgent service delivery and societal issues in the Cardiff Capital Region. Successful applicants will lead their challenge and work with potential suppliers to co-create and test innovative products and services to solve their issue, supported by the Challenge Fund delivery team.
Successful solution providers will gain access to a public sector client and the new product or service is likely to have a broad potential market, benefitting the economy.
