i-Con: the innovation centre's COVID-19 toolkit

i-Con was launched in spring 2020 to help the built environment sector through the emergency, using innovation to build resilience. It had three parts:

• The challenge fund and matchmaking platform, matching COVID-19 problems with solution providers and funding.
• The online learning platform, a bank of training resources that could be followed remotely.
• The knowledge hub, a pan-industry knowledge bank to find information and support services.

It later evolved into "i-Con: Recovery through Innovation", with events, funding opportunities and supported projects.
