About Co-Creation

Can you build an AI agent that behaves like a normal phone user to make testing easier and faster? We want to be able to automate the process of testing modified software on large numbers of mobile phones at once. The testing must be thorough, covering all possible situations and use cases. We are seeking Technology Readiness Level 5 demonstrator within 12 weeks. HMGCC Co-Creation will provide funding for time, materials, overheads and other indirect expenses for applicants successful in phase 2 of the competition.

Can you develop a machine learning-enabled solution that helps engineers identify, characterise, and understand electronic components using only x-ray images? To safely disarm explosive devices, skilled operatives sometimes use x-ray images to identify the electronic trigger and disarm it. However, this is difficult with complicated circuits and when the images are not clear. This is a 12-week funded challenge. Applicants must deliver a demonstrator at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5 within the project period. HMGCC will provide funding for time and materials, overheads, and other indirect expenses for successful applicants.

Can you develop discreet, wearable stab-resistant body armour specifically designed for women? Officers working in close protection units need to stay unseen and blend into the crowd, but they also need to protect themselves against possible attack. In this challenge we are focusing on finding the best hidden stab vests for women working in these jobs. We are interested in technologies, materials and garment designs that could provide effective protection against sharp bladed weapons, developed to a minimum technology readiness level 5 and designed for women from the outset. HMGCC Co-Creation will provide funding for time, materials, overheads and other indirect expenses for successful applicants.
