Robotics Adoption Central Convening Body

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is offering up to £2 million to create a central body that coordinates robotics adoption hubs across the UK. This is a large grant worth between £1 million and £2 million for the successful organisation. You must be a UK registered organisation to apply. The funding will help set up and run a central coordinating body for robotics adoption. This body will work with robotics hubs to help businesses adopt robotics technology. The deadline to apply is 15 April 2026. Only one organisation will likely receive this funding as it is for creating a single central body.

This grant is for established UK registered organisations that can coordinate robotics adoption hubs nationally. You need the capacity to manage a large-scale coordination programme worth up to £2 million. This is not for individual businesses looking to adopt robotics, but for organisations that can help coordinate robotics adoption across multiple hubs.

UK registered organisations can apply for a share of up to £2 million for creating a central convening body to coordinate the robotics adoption hubs. Funding is from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).
