The Climate Smart Cities Challenge is a city-based open innovation competition that invited technologists, businesses and investors to develop, test and scale cutting-edge solutions in four cities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Bristol was chosen as one of the host cities, and is now completing a system demonstrator with the winning team.

Working with Building Growth South West and MOBIE, we helped to deliver Workforce for the Future, a program to help SME’s engage with MMC on behalf of the West of England Combined Authority.

In April 2020, a consortium of partners led by YTKO and including Bristol City Council, Bristol Housing Festival, BRE, and 9 leading modular housing companies were awarded an Innovate UK grant for their project, Enabling Housing Innovation for Inclusive Growth.

This is an 18 month programme working with multiple partners towards the delivery of a major Research, Development and Innovation (R,D&I) in the use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).
