World-leading research, development and innovation support for SMEs exploring digital technologies connected to the underground environment

Launched in early 2021, Deep Digital Cornwall was a £4.4m project that supported SMEs based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly with World-leading research, development and innovation support for SMEs exploring digital technologies connected to the underground environment.

Deep Digital Cornwall conducted new research to create datasets for exploration at the Deep Digital Cornwall Data Hub. Datasets are being made available for download from the University of Exeter online repository, ORE.

43 SMEs in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly accessed research skills, expertise, £1m grant fund, new datasets and state-of-the-art immersive technology facilities for 3D and 4D data visualisation.

The Deep Digital Cornwall visualisation suite and data hub continue. Access is available through various Good Growth projects funded by the Shared Prosperity Fund and for commercial work. Please contact us for details.
