Prioritisation of future innovations

**Please note this is not a call for competition** This is a PIN notice for an event

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy have a requirement to support the Regulatory Horizons Council to identify the implications of technological innovations and advise the government on regulatory reform needed to support its rapid and safe introduction.

The outputs of this project will enable the Council to make evidence-based recommendations on technological innovations with the greatest potential economic and social benefit which face significant regulatory hurdles in order to realise this potential or where there is a need for new regulations to be developed in order to ensure public safety.

The contractor will develop a framework which will provide data and metrics for each technological innovation. The metrics will then be weighted by the Secretariat (in collaboration with the contractor) to produce a shortlist of technological innovations.
