This project will develop a strategic and innovative market-based approach to facilitate the deployment of critical sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) on a large scale through the Infrastructure Coordination Service`s (ICS) collaborative road construction program. The 2021 London Independent Flood Review and the Thames Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (dDWMP) have highlighted their importance with Thames Water Planning to increase supply from 20 hectares every 5 years to 7,000 hectares by 2050. A recent pilot project sponsored by ICS and led by Cadent Gas and Enfield Council identified an opportunity to enable 25% cost savings in SuDS delivery through the ICS collaborative roadworks programme, but blockers continue to prevent the approach from growing. This project will seek to capitalise on the opportunities identified by leveraging knowledge of UK environmental markets to overcome identified barriers to investment and enable large-scale collaborative implementation. The project will also identify wider opportunities for the application of market-based approaches to improve investment in critical flood resilience measures in London. For the first time, our project will use world-leading digital twin modeling to help industry design industrial clusters based on real-world environmental requirements, enabling rapid deployment to support energy security and sustainable economic growth. This is the first time that cutting-edge digital twin technology with environmental data has been used to explore environmental boundaries and optimize decarbonization technologies in industrial clusters. The concept of “digital twins” allows the creation of a digital representation of real places and systems. We can use a virtual counterpart to a real-world system to try different combinations of technologies in locations to gain invaluable early insight into environmental risks and inform and streamline regulations. A new funding framework was developed to give small and large construction companies the opportunity to bid on government projects over the next seven years. Through this project, we will explore and test ways to create a regulatory environment conducive to innovation.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, the government has given influential jobs to people closely associated with Conservative politicians. This happened without interviews or open competitions. They awarded contracts to companies that had no experience. One example is the appointment of Dido Harding, wife of a Conservative MP, to head the new National Institute for Health Protection. Another example was the awarding of a contract for more than 250 million pounds of personal protective equipment to a Florida-based jewelry company. This included a payment of £21 million to an intermediary. There was no tendering or tendering procedures. As part of this project, we will develop an evidence base and framework for testing autonomous and prototypical vessels for research and development. This will allow UK innovators and businesses to play a leading role in testing new and emerging technologies. The new framework will be jointly designed by MCA, local authorities, universities, businesses and other stakeholders and developed so that it can be shared across the country. It will have dedicated professional and academic resources to capture, quantify and map overlapping legislative and operational elements, while working in partnership with key stakeholders as well as national and international regulators and competent authorities to identify and respond to industry research and development needs in a secure manner. timely and cost-effective.
to promote. By creating viable and safe regulations, it will enable the UK to play a leading role as an international centre for zero emissions and as a centre for innovation and manufacturing for autonomous ships. This project will bring together Greater Manchester Local Authorities (GM) to provide compliance advice and support to local businesses, giving them time to focus on new and innovative products, processes and services. Greater Manchester`s new Corporate Compliance Department provides a one-stop shop for business compliance advice and support, with dedicated trade compliance officers from Monday to Friday. They will also proactively engage with companies to ensure they understand what they need to do to comply with environmental health regulations, business standards and licensing. The aim is to provide additional guidance and signage support to save businesses time and allow them to focus on creating innovative new products and services, creating growth, additional jobs and creating a more prosperous local economy to help level the country. The service will be flexible to meet demand and changing business needs, for example targeted and specific support in the event of legislative changes or when new opportunities arise for Greater Manchester businesses as a result of the levelling programme or the UK`s withdrawal from the EU. The project will explore how new regulatory approaches can contribute to a collaborative ecosystem that produces significant strategic and economic outcomes at Scottish and UK level. The competition for the third round of the Regulators` Pioneer Fund opened on July 19, 2022 and ended on September 29, 2022. Regulators and local authorities could apply for grants of up to £1 million for projects that would help create a UK regulatory environment conducive to innovation and business growth. Projects would last 8 months (from 1 January 2023) or 12 to 18 months (from 1 September 2023).
This project will be a fundamental step towards opening up drone airspace in the UK without depriving manned aviation of its rights and will provide a network on the west coast of Scotland, including between the islands, to enable UAV trials for multi-logistics delivery. Research into microbes associated with the human body, the microbiome, can improve our understanding of human health and disease, provide new solutions for public health, and enable us to move towards personalized medicine. The complex and innovative nature of microbiome therapies and diagnostics poses a challenge to both regulators and businesses, as the lack of specific guidance delays the approval process and discourages companies from starting the process in the UK – they would typically choose to launch their products or operations in the US first. where microbiome activity is greater and established. This project aims to develop a practical methodology to support regulation and clinicians for transparent and complex models. This will enhance the ability to safely introduce complex AI into the Pioneer Fund Competition Brief6emergency response clinical pathway by creating the ability to share real-time location information. The project itself aims to demonstrate new technologies, show that they are safe and reliable and support the development of UK regulation in this area. We plan to establish a testbed that will allow for continued experimentation, and we believe our pioneering work will also create a plan for wider adoption and deployment both in Milton Keynes and beyond. This project will support the UK in its transition to a net-zero economy by supporting the aviation industry and laying the groundwork to reduce the regulatory burden when adopting hydrogen in aviation on a commercial scale. This project will also help make the UK a world leader in the use of hydrogen in aviation, influence the development of future global standards and create investment opportunities. This project will explore and test an outcome-based regulatory approach (ORA), with a focus on achieving carbon neutrality.
It will bring together regulators, other public sector organisations, operators and companies to explore what the OBR could mean for existing practices and processes, and what it means for regulators in their approach to determining and assessing conformity. Testing the OBR in Scotland`s largest industrial cluster provides an opportunity to test in a complex regulatory landscape that includes emerging and innovative technologies focused on hydrogen and the bioeconomy. It will also provide a solid test for further exploration with small and medium-sized businesses and other sectors. In this way, the project will provide a better understanding of the overall regulatory environment of industrial clusters, including economic, environmental and national/regional policies, strategies and incentives. This, in turn, will improve understanding of investment drivers and constraints, make dialogue with business and industry more productive, and support innovation. We see an opportunity to undertake further research with partner organizations, experts and other stakeholders to better understand the use of DR as a dispute resolution mechanism.
