Innovation Platforms (IPs) are a particularly effective way for Government to address national challenges and at the same time to help businesses to grow. In recent years the Technology Strategy Board has started 7 Innovation Platforms, creating major R&D programmes (each circa £100-250m total private and public investment) in key areas of national opportunity. In this session we will show what an Innovation Platform is and how we build one.

 

In this session an audience of businesses from all sectors, academics, policy makers, trade associations and consultants can expect to:

• Find out what an innovation platform is and how it helps both government and businesses
• See how an Innovation Platform is built
• Share some examples of IPs that are being and have been developed

This interactive seminar will be hosted by Paul Mason, Martin Griffiths and Tim Pearson of the Technology Strategy Board and will include insights from companies that have benefited from involvement in the activities of an Innovation Platform.
