SPECIFIC is a UK accredited Innovation and Knowledge Centre possessing world-class facilities that combine applied R&D, pilot manufacturing, systems integration and building demonstration with business development and commercialisation. Our vision is to create ‘Buildings as Power Stations’ by developing and integrating novel generation, storage and release technologies from solar energy capture.
SPECIFIC is led and managed by Swansea University, with strategic partners including TATA Steel, NSG, Akzo Nobel and Cardiff University. It is supported by ERDF structural funds, Innovate UK and EPSRC.
