Advisory Board

In June 2023, we appointed a new Advisory Board ahead of significant new business ventures. These include scaling up of ProtoEV STEM Challenge, development of outreach activities to underrepresented groups in wider STEM areas, major forward steps in our EdTech offerings (in electric vehicle and electrification skills training, and in hydrogen technologies skills training), the development and opening of the Manchester Innovation Activities Hub, and other global partnerships currently in progress. 

The board have been selected for their specific skills and insight as The Blair Project commercialise our AR EdTech for Hydrogen Skills project, with a view to becoming the world’s ‘go-to’ net zero skills training platform by 2028.
