Innovation

Products and Proposals that are not on the market

If you have a new product or service or improvement that is in development, or which has not been applied in Northern Ireland or the UK, but which you think could benefit the occupiers and owners of housing in Northern Ireland, please ask about our Technical Innovation programme.

We may have useful advice about other markets or applications for housing related products, even when we cannot use these for NIHE homes within current budgets.

Any acceptance of a proposal for a limited pre-commercial test or trial is no endorsement of the Housing Executive of performance claims for any product or service.

Please email technical.innovation@nihe.gov.uk for an initial telephone conversation, or for a questionnaire for return.
