Email us →UK and Ireland infrastructure technology readiness, with delivery windows — what you can actually use, and when.
Seventy-nine technologies across seventeen sectors, each carried at its technology readiness level with a route to market and the institutions behind it. We read the operators, the catapults and the manufacturers so that you do not have to. Scroll down to see what is ready.
Telling one from the other is the difference between a specification and a gamble.
A press release and a live deployment read exactly the same until someone checks.
Not a trend list. A specification aid.
Every technology tied to the organisations actually building it.
Check a technology’s readiness level before you write it into a specification.
See which 24 technologies are commercially deployable in the UK and Ireland right now.
Read the route to market on anything still emerging, and what has to happen first.
Find the institutions and companies behind a technology before you approach them.
Technology Readiness Level is the 1–9 maturity scale used across UK research and procurement. The only two questions it answers: how proven is this, and how far from routine use?
TRL 3–7 is the “valley of death” — the bridge where technologies either jump from lab to live site or quietly die. It is exactly where the UK & Ireland’s innovation centres (GEIC, Royce, the Catapults, UKBIC and peers) do their work, see where, below.

Each line is one technology: a dot at its readiness level today, running up-and-right to its evidenced arrival at market (TRL 9). Steep and short = usable soon. Long and shallow = further out. Hover to identify a route; click it for the full breakdown.
