Turntide Technologies Secures DRIVE35 Funding for SUPREME

On August 10, Turntide Technologies announced that it has been successful in its application for funding through the UK Government and Advanced Propulsion Centre U.K. (APC) DRIVE35 Scale-up Fund for Project SUPREME. Project SUPREME is a GBP 17 million matched-funded project that will accelerate the production of axial flux motors through increased automation and innovation. As part of the project, Turntide will expand the use of its Gateshead production and R&D campus while reestablishing a dedicated component and validation facility in Cramlington, Northumberland. It will automate critical, labor-intensive production processes such as winding, tooling components, and validating its products ready for volume manufacture. Turntide will also be registering and delivering breakthrough intellectual property at the early stages of this 18-month program extending through January 2028. The project is supported through the United Kingdom government-backed DRIVE35 funding framework.
