Impact Jersey Open Programme 1 (OP1) was the first grant initiative under the Impact Jersey scheme, launched in 2023 with up to £500,000 in funding. Its aim was to accelerate technology adoption, support environmental and social goals, and strengthen Jersey’s technology ecosystem. Six projects were selected from around 70 applications, delivering technology-led solutions such as IoT deployments, software platforms, drone services, and data dashboards.
An independent evaluation (with support from PwC Channel Islands) found that OP1 successfully increased technology adoption and improved innovation capabilities on the island. The evaluation, conducted five months after the core 12-month delivery period, provides a snapshot of progress up to May 2025.
