Collaborate to Innovate 2020 awards shortlist announced

Now in its fifth year, The Engineer's Collaborate To Innovate awards (C2I) was established to uncover and celebrate great examples of technology-led engineering collaboration across a range of different disciplines and sectors. It’s fair to say that it’s more than delivered on this vision, and has regularly uncovered a fresh pipeline of innovations, showcasing the UK’s strength and breadth in cross-disciplinary collaboration, and providing plenty of reasons to optimistic about the future of UK engineering.

And, in a year in which the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many sectors of the economy grinding to halt, this year’s shortlist – one of the strongest in the competition’s history - provides gratifying evidence that the UK’s culture of innovation and appetite for collaboration is alive and well.

The shortlisted projects are listed below , and we’ll be looking at all of them in more detail over the weeks and months ahead, with the winners being announced early next year.
