Innovate UK’s REforMM programme: Longer in Use and ReUse workshop
The Innovate UK vision for 2050 delves into the challenges and opportunities in front of the UK materials and manufacturing sectors. This sprint activity focuses on longer in Use and ReUse (LURU), which is one of the five core areas of the vision.
By joining this event, you will have the opportunity to engage and network with the like-minded business community and input into how the UK can adopt and retain new business models towards longer in use and reuse.
As part of the workshop, we will explore the challenges that companies face in pivoting to longer in use and reuse; it is an invitation to reimagine product lifetimes together.
In addition, you will hear about the forthcoming competition from Innovate UK that will open the opportunity to apply for funding for your longer in use and reuse activity.
