Business contracts: to reduce motorcycle casualties

This SBRI (small business research initiative) competition is seeking innovative projects that could help reduce the number of motorcycle casualties and fatalities on Welsh roads.

If your business has an idea for an innovation, you could win a share of £510,000 in funding for the prototype development and demonstration of innovative technologies.

The challenge is to develop an effective intervention or technological feature that provides demonstrable improvements in the safety of motorcyclists, by either:

  • reducing the likelihood of a collision occurring
  • lessening the impact of a collision
