EDF Energy has selected the ideas it thinks could make the greatest difference to customers and have invited the startups behind them to join a 12-week acceleration programme.

At the end of the programme, all of the short-listed innovations have the opportunity for future commercial relationships,  joint working, or investment, while one finalist will be selected for a cash prize.
