HS2 Ltd has opened applications for tech start-ups to join its successful Innovation Accelerator programme.

Commenting, HS2 Ltd innovation manager, Jon Kelly said: "Cascading design revisions through a live building programme, such as innovations to reduce embedded carbon or alter any detail of its systems, stations or depots is challenging, especially one on HS2's scale.

"To help smooth the process, we’re looking for innovative tech start-ups with applications to both design and game plan implementation scenarios that will help strengthen understanding of how the best results can be achieved."

Applications to join the fifth cohort close on 30 October.
