我们知道人工智能的进步和采用具有巨大的潜力，可以为制造商和工业部门带来可持续发展的影响，但我们也明白，这可能感觉是一个漫长而昂贵的过程。Made Smarter可持续发展加速器是一项国家加速计划，旨在快速推进和塑造英国的技术解决方案，将资源和能源效率直接输送到工业中。该计划是为工业设计的，并由创新者实现：作为制造商和创新者的社区，该计划将加快对数字技术创新的理解，并释放技术采用为英国经济带来的已知可持续发展好处。它为您提供了加入英国最大的以行业为重点的加速计划的直接机会。我们将共同帮助推动该行业的创新和数字化，同时获得竞争优势。作为全国Made Smarter运动的一部分，我们将与英国领先的制造商和工业公司以及英国领先的数字技术创新社区合作，开发尖端技术原型和解决方案，以应对英国制造业设定的可持续发展挑战。**设定现实世界的挑战：**Made Smarter可持续发展加速器是一个匹配资助计划，面向大中型工业公司，他们将成为数字创新前沿精选群体的一部分。这群领先的制造商将帮助确定资源和能源效率挑战的范围，并直接参与该计划，其产出将直接影响企业获得竞争优势。**开发关键原型：**英国的技术和数字创业生态系统是欧洲最强大的，伦敦是世界领先的全球科技中心之一。Made Smarter可持续发展加速器计划是由这些英国科技初创公司实现的。我们将为最多10个团队提供最高75,000 GB的资金和一个增长平台，因为我们开发的原型将成为英国一些最相关的制造业和工业挑战的支点。**试行开发：**在成功完成第一阶段和原型开发后，该计划将选择至少5个团队进行进一步资助，每个团队提供150,000 GB以将其解决方案开发为工业规模的试点。这些解决方案将在目前计划于2024年底举行的最终展示会上展示和推介。

We know the advancement and adoption of AI holds huge potential to deliver sustainability impact for manufacturers and the industrial sector, but understand it can feel like a lengthy and costly process. Made Smarter Sustainability Accelerator is a national acceleration programme, set to fast forward and shape the UK's technology solutions that deliver resource & energy efficiency directly into industry.The programme is designed for industry and made real by innovators: As a community of manufacturers and innovators, the programme will speed up the understanding of digital technology innovation and unlock the known sustainability benefits technology adoption has for the UK economy. It provides you with a direct opportunity to join the UK's largest industry-focused acceleration programme. Together we will help to drive innovation and digitalisation of the sector whilst gaining a competitive edge.As part of the national Made Smarter movement, we'll work with both leading UK manufacturers and industrial companies along with the UK's pioneering digital technology innovation community to develop cutting-edge technology prototypes and solutions to address sustainability challenges set by the UK manufacturing community.**Setting real-world challenges:**Made Smarter Sustainability Accelerator is a match-funded programme for medium and large industrial companies who will be part of a select group at the forefront of digital innovation. This group of leading manufacturers will help to define the scope of resource & energy efficiency challenges and be directly involved in the programme, the outputs of which will generate a direct impact on achieving a competitive edge for business.**Developing pivotal prototypes:**The UK's technology and digital startup ecosystem is the strongest in Europe, with London being one of the leading global tech hubs in the world. The Made Smarter Sustainability Accelerator programme is made real by these UK technology startups. We'll provide up to 10 teams with up to £75,000 funding and a platform to grow, as we develop prototypes that will pivot some of the UK's most relevant manufacturing and industrial challenges.**Pilot development:**On successful completion of phase one and the development of prototypes, the programme will select at least five teams for further funding, offering £150,000 each to develop their solution into industrial scale pilots. These solutions will be presented and pitched at the final Showcase, currently scheduled for the end of 2024\.
