This event is an introduction to the exciting work taking place as the Global Centre of Rail Excellence takes shape. At the event, the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy will launch an opportunity to access up to £7.4 million for innovation in railway infrastructure. GCRE is a world-class rail testing centre and will support the delivery of testing and innovation for both infrastructure and rolling stock.

The site is located near to Onllwyn in South Wales. This event will provide the opportunity to find out more about this exciting opportunity, to meet the key members of the team from GCRE and those delivering this competition, and to meet other stakeholders that might be interested to partner with you in applying for funding. This event is delivered as a partnership between GCRE, BEIS, Innovate UK and Innovate UK KTN.
