As the UK’s Innovation Agency, Innovate UK drives growth by working with companies to des-risk, enable and support innovation. To do this we work to:

• determine which science and technology developments will drive future economic growth
• meet UK innovators with great ideas in the fields we’re focused on
• fund the strongest opportunities
• connect innovators with the right partners they need to succeed
• help our innovators launch, build and grow successful businesses

As part of this we run funding competitions throughout the year. Visit InnovateUK for details of our live funding competitions.
