Eigen Ventures, alongside partners ERM, Scope 3 Peer Group and SRS Sustainable Business, supported UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), to deliver a programme exploring how targeted market interventions can accelerate the adoption of low-carbon and resource-efficient innovations across key UK sectors: automotive, built environment and chemicals. The programme culminated in the design of recommended Market Forming Interventions (MFIs) – government-led, demand-side measures designed to accelerate the uptake of novel technologies and business models that reduce lifecycle emissions.

The NZIP Accelerator was delivered as part of the UK Department of Energy Security and Net Zero’s (DESNZ) £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP). From 2021 – 2025, it delivered technical assistance to nearly 200 leading UK cleantech innovators to commercialise and scale their businesses. Eigen Ventures was a lead delivery partner for the programme, supporting its design, mobilisation and delivery and directly supporting 68 SMEs with 200+ advisory projects delivered.
