Introducing the Manchester Prize

The Manchester Prize, an initiative of the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, will award £1 million every year to a team of innovators with the most cutting-edge AI solution for public good.

As we enter a new era where artificial intelligence plays an increasing role in the way we live, work, learn and enjoy ourselves, the UK is playing a leading role in pioneering new AI solutions to some of the most important and difficult challenges in society.

The first Manchester Prize is seeking innovation from UK-led teams with breakthrough ideas for overcoming challenges in the fields of energy, environment and infrastructure.

Up to ten finalist teams will initially receive £100,000 each, a generous package of non-financial support, and access to free computing power to develop their innovation.

One finalist will win the £1 million grand prize in early 2025.

Deadline is Friday 1 February 2024.
