The UK government has launched the second round of the Manchester Prize, aimed at fostering innovations in clean energy systems. This initiative seeks to leverage AI technologies to help the UK achieve its net-zero targets by 2050 while enhancing energy security and reducing costs. Innovators, including academics and start-ups, are invited to submit their solutions for decarbonizing the energy grid.
The competition encourages the development of AI-driven tools that can optimize energy efficiency and predict demand spikes. As global leaders convene at the COP29 Climate Change Conference, the role of AI in addressing climate challenges is increasingly recognized. The Manchester Prize represents a significant commitment to harnessing British innovation for a sustainable energy future.
