Pitching Support
You have the potential to make a big impact, but in order to succeed you need to effectively communicate the value of your innovation to potential partners and investors.
"When will I need to pitch my innovation?"
You may be asked to pitch your innovation if it is selected for the next stage
If you respond to a specific call, network partners will review your proposal. If they want to take it forward, you may be invited to a presentation day.
If you submit your proposal proactively, the Energy Innovation Centre may select it for a DNO or GDN forum. This means network partners may be seeing your proposal for the first time at the forum.
The forum gives you the chance to present your solution directly to network partners and explain the problem it could help solve.
