Innovate UK is the operating name of the Technology Strategy Board, the UK's innovation agency. It is a UK non-departmental public body operating at arm's length from the Government reporting to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
In August 2014 the Technology Strategy Board fully adopted the name Innovate UK.
Innovate UK funds projects that develop or improve infrastructure systems. But the best solutions are often the result of working across industry sectors. That’s why we also help businesses find the connections they need to develop their innovative new products, services and processes.
Our priority areas in the field of infrastructure systems are:
energy - systems and supply
transport systems
urban living
smart and resilient infrastructure
We also help UK organisations take part in European research, development and innovation programmes
