A total of £17.44 million has been allocated to 53 of the winning companies by the UK’s innovation agency.

Innovate UK has awarded the funds to a variety of projects which include new products, processes and services which it believes have the potential to generate significant positive impact and growth for the UK economy.

“All of these projects are tackling issues that affect many people and cover key sectors linked to government’s Industrial Strategy,” said Fionnuala Costello, Head of Open Programmes at Innovate UK.

“The overall quality of applications from across the country was of exceptionally high standard and covers a wide range of industries, from digital and creative to biosciences and medicine development, which shows the appetite of UK businesses to innovate and grow.

“Through our ongoing funding programme we are supporting hundreds of high-growth businesses, collaborations and industries to innovate and compete in future global markets.”

Innovate UK is part of UK Research and Innovation, which is designed to drive productivity and economic growth by supporting businesses to develop and realise the potential of new ideas.
