Millions of pounds in funding is available for legal technology innovators through two awards schemes inviting entries over the next few weeks. The Enabling Data Access Innovation Lab, organised by Whitehall-funded Innovate UK, plans to award up to £3.5 million to projects developing data access methods to enable the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and data technologies in the accountancy, insurance and legal services sector. The competition takes place in two stages: first, individuals apply on behalf of their organisations to join a three-day Innovation Lab from 14 October. Four weeks after the event, project consortia will be required to submit their proposals for assessment. The deadline for applications is noon on 4 September.
