Innovate UK

Innovate UK is the name for the former Technology Strategy Board. As the UK's innovation agency, its aim is simple – to accelerate economic growth by stimulating and supporting business-led innovation.

As part of its strategy for the creative industries, Innovate UK expects to invest up to £30m between 2013 and 2016 to support the development of new products and services to enable the distribution of content across different platforms and devices. The organisation has identified opportunities for innovation as a result of trends such as ongoing digitisation, audience fragmentation, changing users' behaviour, disintermediation and convergence.

Innovate UK has collaborated with a number of other organisations to produce an overview of funding and business support options for creative businesses.
