Innovate UK

Innovate UK is the UK’s national innovation agency. 

We support business-led innovation in all sectors, technologies and UK regions. We help businesses grow through the development and commercialisation of new products, processes, and services, supported by an outstanding innovation ecosystem that is agile, inclusive, and easy to navigate. 

Our purpose is working to drive economic growth and productivity through empowering UK businesses to leverage innovation for sustainable success.

We are at the heart of the UK innovation ecosystem, continuously refining our offer and approach to maximise impact, strengthen partnerships, and drive progress across diverse industries and communities.

Through strategic investments, targeted focus, and collaborative partnerships between public and private organisations, we enable businesses to develop and commercialise game-changing innovations, creating new opportunities to start and scale, and increasing productivity across the UK.

Building on our Plan for Action, we are shaping our organisation to deliver real economic impact in and through programmes, places, and people.

Through working in partnership with local leaders, attracting new talent and skills, targeting cutting-edge opportunities, supporting start-ups and scale-ups, and creating new systems, we are shaping the future of business innovation, and shaping the future of our UK economy.

If you or your business would like to join us in shaping this future, please do visit our stand in the Innovation Zone.

We are joined at Security and Policing this year by colleagues from UKRI and Innovate UK Business Connect.
