Technology Strategy Board
The Technology Strategy Board is the UK’s national innovation agency. Their goal is to accelerate economic growth by stimulating and supporting business-led innovation.
They work right across government, business and the research community - removing the barriers to innovation, bringing organisations together to focus on opportunities, and investing in the development of new technology-based products and services for future markets.
To deliver their objective of helping to drive business innovation in the UK, the Technology Strategy Board has a number of mechanisms and tools available.
Some are programmes which were initially established by Government departments and are now being managed and developed by the Technology Strategy Board. They also provide the route for UK businesses to access European support for innovation and technology.
Delivery mechanisms currently include:
- Knowledge Transfer Networks
- Collaborative research and development
- Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI)
- Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
- Catapult centres
- International programmes
