What will the down-selection process look like and who are the different stakeholders/judges?
Evaluation process (startup)
- Based on our other industry programmes of this scale and size we anticipate a high volume of applications.
- Digital Catapult technology leads and steering team will evaluate all applications and produce an initial list of applications for review by the Steering Group.
- These applications will then be evaluated by the Made Smarter Technology Accelerator Steering Group.
- The Made Smarter Technology Accelerator Steering Group will consist of industrial sponsors, UKRI, Made Smarter and Digital Catapult.
- The judging criteria will be clearly defined and decisions reached through a point based voting system.
- The top voted applications (up to 20) will be welcomed onto the programme subject to contracting and onboarding process.
