Details

Innovate UK is the UK’s innovation agency. We help UK businesses to grow through innovation.

This action plan sets out how we will do that by focusing our activities in 5 strategic theme areas:

  • future economy
  • growth at scale
  • global opportunities
  • innovation ecosystem
  • government levers

It also outlines the strong foundations that underpin the support we give for innovation:

  • UK science and research
  • design
  • responsible innovation
  • innovation talent and skills
  • equality, diversity and inclusion
  • place and levelling up

Update: February 2023

In November 2021, Innovate UK published its 5-year plan for action, which set out how we will help businesses to grow and thrive, and contribute to the UK becoming a global hub for innovation by 2035.

As an update we recently produced a blog and a ‘lite’ version of the plan.

Read our ‘1 year on: plan for action 2021 to 2025’ document to find out our approach and highlights so far.
