V1.02 080807
Technology Strategy Board
• Guided by a business-led Governing Board
• Sponsored by DIUS, working with all government departments ….
• ….and Regional Development Agencies, Research Councils, Devolved Administrations and other innovation groups
Partnership is key
• Budget – £711m over 3 years; over £1bn with the RDAs (£180m) and the Research Councils (£120m)
• Staff of around 75 people
• Based in Swindon (with desks in London)
What is the Technology Strategy Board?
Technology Strategy Board
Technology Strategy Board
Our vision for the future
‘for the UK to be a global leader in innovation and a magnet for innovative businesses, who can apply technology rapidly, sustainably and effectively to create wealth and enhance quality of life’
Technology Strategy Board
Criteria for Support
• UK capacity to develop and exploit the technology
Can the UK do it?• The size of the global market opportunity
Is there a large market opportunity?• The right potential for impact in the right time frame
Is the idea “ready”• A clear role for the TSB to add value
Can we make a difference?
Technology Strategy Board
Current Support
• Collaborative R&D
• Innovation Platforms
• Knowledge Transfer Networks
• Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
• Micro Nanotechnology (MNT) Centres
• Framework Programme National Contact Points and EUREKA
Technology Strategy Board
• Key mechanism for supporting business R&D– Competition priorities derived from Key Technology / Application
Areas / Innovation Platforms
– Support Business to Business and Science to Business R&D projects that will deliver successful new products and services
– Funding for Basic, Applied and Experimental Development R&D projects (75% - 25% contribution towards project costs)
– Since 2004 more than 600 Collaborative R&D projects approved for funding – (£3k - £95m) – representing about £1 Bn of R&D activity
Collaborative R&D competitions
