The Government is funding 16 cutting-edge technology projects which it says will bring groundbreaking innovations to market more quickly.

£8.9 million funding will be delivered through the Regulatory Innovation Office to support projects including drones delivering medical supplies in the Scottish islands; AI tools that are helping get new medicines safely approved for use sooner; an AI smartphone app helping London Fire Brigade to risk-assess homes and businesses; and street-sweeping robots in Milton Keynes.
