📣 The ATI is introducing a new streamlined first-stage application process for its flagship funding programme, the Strategic Programme. Swipe to hear what Paul Adams, Chief Innovation Officer, had to say on the announcement. 👉 From 1st January 2026, applicants to the Strategic Programme will submit a 15-slide presentation via the ATI website. If the project is in scope of the ATI technology strategy, applicants will be invited to present their project proposal to a panel of ATI assessors. If successful at Outline Stage, applicants will be invited to complete a Full Stage Application process via the government’s Innovation Funding Service (IFS). The existing form-based Expression of Interest process via IFS will end after the final applications are submitted in November 2025. Got any questions? Join our open webinar where the we'll share more detail on the Strategic Programme's new Outline Stage application process and answer your questions during a Q&A session. 📍 10:00 – 11:00am on Tuesday 28th October 2025 The ATI Programme is delivered in partnership with the Department for Business and Trade and Innovate UK.

📣 Final HCN reports examine the UK’s pathway to hydrogen aviation Last week, the ATI’s Hydrogen Capability Network (HCN) published its final two reports. The first provides an overview of the global zero-carbon emission technology landscape, while the second summarises the key recommendations from the 24-month project. ✈️ What Next for Hydrogen in Aviation? This forms the HCN’s main conclusions report and summarises the recommendations across fundamental research, technology, infrastructure & supply and skills. 🧱 International Landscape: Zero-carbon Emission Aircraft Technology Bricks This landscape report assesses the UK’s technologies and capabilities in six key zero-carbon emission technology bricks compared to other leading nations. Read about the reports and their conclusions in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eGH7s_Ux #cryogenichydrogen #aviation #aerospace #liquidhydrogen #HCN

The ATI Project of the Year Award celebrates a project funded through the ATI Programme that has concluded or reached a significant milestone in the last year. Last year, this award was given to ZeroAvia and the HyFlyer II project, which has challenged conventional wisdom, taken risks and provided valuable lessons to support the aerospace sector’s journey towards Net Zero. During HyFlyer II, ZeroAvia grew its UK full-time employees from below 40 to over 250, established partnerships with world-leading OEMs, including Textron and De Havilland of Canada, and the project was integral to securing Series C investment. The company now plans significant investment in UK manufacturing, with a proposed Hydrogen Centre of Excellence for production, assembly and testing of fuel cell power generation systems.

The ATI Hub Breakthrough Award celebrates the most promising startup. At the 2024 ATI Conference, this was awarded to ToffeeX, a startup that is revolutionising the design of heat exchangers. Effective thermal management and efficient coolant systems are critical for, among other areas, the electrification of aircraft systems and hydrogen fuel cells. Originating from Imperial College London, ToffeeX’s software has enabled the design of heat exchangers that are 31% to 50% more efficient than current solutions, resulting in more compact designs, reduced weight, and a volume decrease of over 50%. The company now employs 27 people and has successfully secured seed and Series A funding from investors. 📣 Calling all UK-based startups that have been active in the aerospace sector since 2020 - could you be the next breakthrough winner?
