Innovate UK

Innovation does not happen in isolation. Turning ideas into commercial success requires the right partners, funding and support at the right time. Innovate UK Business Connect is a strategic delivery partner to Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). We build and activate the UK’s innovation networks, connecting businesses, researchers, investors and partners to accelerate innovation. Across priority sectors and emerging technologies such as AI, quantum technologies, advanced manufacturing and net zero, we identify opportunities, scout high-potential businesses and create clearer pathways from idea to market. Through our network, we combine sector expertise with data and insight to help organisations navigate the innovation system and access the support they need. For more information on how you can get support or join us at one of our events, visit our website https://iuk-business-connect.org.uk or contact us on enquiries@iukbc.org.uk .
