Telent<\/a> is delighted to announce that it has joined Rail Industry Association<\/a>\u2019s (RIA)<\/a> acclaimed Unlocking Innovation programme as a Strategic Partner.<\/p>\n

RIA\u2019s<\/a> Unlocking Innovation programme promotes and highlights the many innovations and developments happening across UK rail and helps businesses identify new opportunities to innovate.<\/p>\n

Working closely with RIA<\/a>, Network Rail<\/a> and the UK Rail Research and Innovation Network<\/a> (UKRRIN), Telent<\/a> will have an active role in the development of the Unlocking Innovation programme and in delivering its strategic objectives.<\/p>\n

RIA<\/a> Innovation Director Milda Manomaityte said: \u201cWe are delighted to welcome Telent<\/a> as the third Strategic Partner of the Unlocking Innovation programme, strengthening the collaboration and bringing new ideas. This year we are planning a series of Unlocking Innovation events across the UK\u2019s nations and regions to connect with local stakeholders, suppliers and researchers. Unlocking Innovation \u201con tour\u201d aims to work closely with Network Rail<\/a>\u2019s routes, regions, and capital delivery teams as well as regional transport bodies to bring together the innovation community and local railway stakeholders for a showcase of market-ready innovations, R&D work, funding and accelerator programmes, as well as testing capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Unlocking Innovation programme is aimed at promoting innovations and new developments within the sector. Through a series of events, articles, thought leadership reports and industry surveys, the programme seeks to understand the challenges innovators face, provide clarity for routes to market and connect individuals with ideas and the ability to make changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cUK rail is facing many challenges \u2013 ageing infrastructure, obsolete systems, climate change \u2013 which all lead to operational uncertainty and although well-funded, UK Rail is not funded sufficiently to address these issues without doing things differently,\u201d said Kevin Bonanno, Director of Rail at Telent<\/a>. \u201cInnovative technology solutions are key to addressing these challenges. Telent<\/a> has a proud history of innovation and of transforming legacy analogue infrastructures into future proofed digital environments. Being part of RIA\u2019s<\/a> acclaimed Unlocking Innovation programme will allow us to support SMEs and innovators in bringing and deploying their solutions to Britain\u2019s railways.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlocking Innovation events are the centrepiece of the programme, bringing railway clients and suppliers together to share the latest innovations in the market and engage with academic institutions. This allows for a better understanding of research and development pipelines and provides an opportunity to learn about funding and accelerator opportunities to bring innovations into the market.<\/p>\n

Telent<\/a> will be on-hand at each event and support the programme to help make positive connections with UK rail stakeholders, suppliers (current and potential) and developers of innovative technologies that seek to address the challenges faced by the rail industry. Telent<\/a> will play an important role in bridging the gap between innovators and national railway priorities, by working with and supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to bring their products and solutions to the rail sector.<\/p>\n
