Yn sgil y cais cyntaf am brosiectau cafwyd 50 o gynigion, ac fe gafodd wyth o'r rhain eu dewis ar gyfer y cam ymchwil a datblygu. Mae'r gyfran gyntaf bellach yn dirwyn i ben ac mae'r prosiectau'n datblygu eu hachosion busnes terfynol. Agorodd yr ail gylch ymgeisio ar gyfer Arloesi i Arbed ym mis Chwefror  - y dyddiad cau ar gyfer datganiadau o ddiddordeb yw 16 Gorffennaf. Rwyf yn falch o roi gwybod bod y galw am y gronfa hon yn parhau.
The first call for projects attracted 50 proposals, eight of which were selected for the research and development phase. The first tranche is now drawing to a close and the projects are developing their final business cases. The second Innovate to Save  bidding round opened in February – the deadline for submission of expressions of interest is the 16 July. I am pleased to report there is an ongoing appetite for this fund.
