In December 2021, Isle launched the first Trial Reservoir with the aim of accelerating the adoption of technologies to lower the water sector’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
En Trial Reservoirs Initiative provides a source de repayable grant funding to help the water sector and adjacent industries adopt new methods and technologies.
The Trial Reservoirs Initiative now includes three Reservoirs, overseen by the Tech Ascend Foundation. Thanks to our sponsors, technology companies can access repayable grant funding to run de-risked proof-of-value demonstrations with potential end-users.
Los depósitos de prueba Initiative provides repayable funding to technology companies looking to embark on trials with their potential customers to achieve these individual goals:
El depósito de prueba del cambio climático is a global programme for technologies that mitigate climate change, whether directly through lowering greenhouse gas emissions or indirectly through embodied carbon and/or energy savings. The end user can be a water utility or a technology user in any other industry. They can be anywhere in the world, and the technology company can also be anywhere in the world.
The Advanced & Industrial Water Trial Reservoir focuses on advanced industrial water treatment solutions addressing resource recovery, emerging contaminants, waste-to-energy, circular economy, and decentralization. The technology company and the end user can be in any country and any industry.
This Trial Reservoir supports trials conducted in collaboration with a utility partner that is led by individuals from historically underrepresented groups, or that serve a community with limited access to resources within the trial’s service area. This Reservoir will support cualquier tecnología que resuelva los problemas de la empresa de servicios públicos anfitriona en EE.UU.
The Trial Reservoirs Initiative would not be possible without our amazing sponsors:-

Las reservas de ensayos financian la adopción de tecnologías para acelerar la adopción de innovaciones. Existen diferentes reservas de financiación para alcanzar objetivos ligeramente distintos. Estas FAQ no son un documento jurídicamente vinculante, sino que recogen algunas de las preguntas y respuestas más frecuentes aplicables a todas las reservas de ensayos.
Make sure the technology aligns with the goals of the Reservoir you are applying to, such as climate change mitigation or advanced & industrial water treatment. It must be possible to define measurable trial success criteria with objective KPIs. Ensure a specific request is made of the technology user if the trial is a success. For example, a commitment to a purchase. This agreement should be part of the trial and purchase contract between you and the potential customer. The trial and purchase agreement must include the right for Isle to receive results and for you to publicise the Trial in collaboration with your customer.
We don’t help identify potential customers as part of the Trial Reservoirs. You will need to be in conversation with at least one potential customer before you join the program. However, you will not initially need firm commitment from the customer(s). Isle can help with key account identification and market entry and this is a separate service offering.
Isle doesn’t actively assist with your fundraising activities through the Trial Reservoirs, but we can help with fundraising as a separate service offering.
The maximum amount available is usually GBP30,000 or USD40,000. The exact amount depends on the duration you will hold the funds for and the outcome of our due diligence.
Nuestro breve proceso de diligencia debida abarca la tecnología, el proveedor y el usuario final para fundamentar una evaluación de riesgos.
The Reservoirs run on a non-profit basis, so although it is not free, there is a cost recovery fee. This is usually in the range of $1000 – $1500 USD per month of the trial set-up and delivery period. The cost varies depending on how much support the trial needs. There is also interest on any loan you take, but the interest rate is only applied after the agreed repayment date. This is a date you and we will agree together. It is set for after the trial evaluation and reporting period at the end of the practical work for the trial.
The rate is set at a specific amount and tied to the Bank of England base rate (typically Bank of England +10%, approximately).
Yes, it can be repaid through instalments. We can come to a mutual agreement as to how you want your payment plan to be structured. Remember, you will only repay your grant if your trial is a success. The revenue from your customer is what enables you to repay the grant into the Reservoir.
Yes. Although the Reservoirs aim to reduce the number of trials vendors need to do, to make a sale, it is possible to use multiple Reservoir grants. Typically this occurs as one grants after another rather than two at the same time. Usually, it is to enable the technology vendor to extend into a new geography or new market sector.
