UK Circular Plastics Network have a stand (K31) within the Ecopack area of the show on which we will have experts you can seek advice from about your innovation (ask us about funding, partners, markets, how to engage with a circular supply chain and more).
Also from our stand you can find out about successful innovation projects funded through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund. Additionally, Innovate UK and KTN will be running 1-2-1 help sessions from our ‘help booths’ on a number of topics including applying for the Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging funding competition which is now open!
Talks about Funding
