Through the Tay Cities Deal's Tay5G project, funding opportunities are available to try out and adopt diverse applications over 5G - fifth generation mobile communications. 5G can be used for diverse sectors from entertainment to manufacturing, healthcare to construction, fashion to automated transport.
Up to £600,000 is available through the Tay5G Challenge Fund 2 to support up to six applicants who can demonstrate impactful projects for products, services or solutions which can use 5G. Tay5G seeks to fund six projects that explore 5G deployment, scaling up or adoption and use cases from all sectors and industries.
How to Apply
Complete the Expression of Interest Form (this will open a new window)
This allows us to capture a high-level idea of your project. At this stage, we are interested in how this funding will help advance your solution, organisation and the target sector. We also need to know how these outcomes will help achieve the goals of the Tay Cities Region Deal and the Tay5G programme.
We do not anticipate that you will have a detailed understanding of 5G technology. Our team will work with you to identify the technical 5G expertise needed if you are shortlisted to submit a full application at Stage 2. However, you are welcome to include your own 5G technical partner in your proposal.
Applications close on 13th May 2024.
