What do we really mean by a 'Giant Leap Together'? It conveys what we must do to realise the Strategic Innovation Fund's far-reaching ambition to decarbonise energy networks. The net zero push is nothing short of a moonshot, requiring urgent input from networks, suppliers, investors, regulators, funders, policy-makers, and everyone involved in energy.

In this episode, Innovate UK’s Matt Hastings and Kate Jones hear from Randolph Brazier, the director of innovation and electricity systems at the Energy Networks Association. We also meet Ali Safari, founder and chief executive of Oxford-based artificial intelligence innovators Farad.ai.

Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) is a £450 million programme to fund and support projects to drive down UK energy’s carbon footprint at lowest cost to consumers. It is delivered through a partnership with Innovate UK.
