There is, however, still a vast amount to do. We must continue exploring new tech and innovative solutions to help us complete major construction milestones quickly, safely and efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Applications for the current round of the programme opened yesterday 23 September, and will close on 31 October, with twelve finalists who will then be halved to six winners. More information and applications can <a href=\"https:\/\/cp.catapult.org.uk\/opportunity\/hs2-accelerator-8-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The last round boosted artificial intelligence in the programme<\/h3>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-software-news\/six-firms-announced-hs2-accelerator-programme\/143690\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">September last year<\/a>, six firms were announced to benefit from the HS2 innovation accelerator, and were given 20 weeks of business support to implement their software solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The solutions led to the streamlining of design approval, document review, design creation, and the creation of a circular economy. The six firms that received these benefits were BuildPrompt, Document Crunch, Morta, Madaster, Simalytica, and Xinaps.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Kelly, senior innovation manager at HS2 Ltd, said: \u201cThrough HS2\u2019s Accelerator programme we are maintaining the flow of new ideas and technology into both delivering high speed rail in the UK as it transitions from civil engineering works to rail systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFuture application of technologies developed on HS2 have the potential to drive efficiencies across the construction and rail industries.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
