Spinouts Matter! 🚀 That's our key takeaway from the event co-hosted at Mansion House on Wednesday by Cambridge Innovation Capital, Northern Gritstone and Oxford Science Enterprises in partnership with Innovate UK and key players from across the innovation system. We agree. That's why we have programmes such as: 🔹 ICURe: prepares researchers for the transition into business. To date, 300 ICURe alums have secured more than £500m in investment - with power to add 🔹 Investor Partnerships brings together grants with aligned investment from partners primed to invest in innovation - including CIC, Northern Gritstone and OSE We are bringing these programmes together to align ICURe with investment to supercharge the pathway from research to spinout, and from spinout to commercialisation, growth and scale. Nearly all of the businesses that showcased their innovations at Mansion House have benefited from Innovate UK support: they are amongst the best of the best in the UK. Innovate UK is here to support the next generation of these businesses as they deliver financial returns to their investors and founders, economic returns to the UK and societal benefits from the technologies that will tackle the biggest health and societal challenges facing people today and tomorrow.

The Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) announces £9.7 million of funding for 21 round three alpha phase projects delivered by Innovate UK 📢 Most projects progress through a single round. Each phase builds on learning from the previous phase. The HeatNet project is one of the successful projects from round 3 discovery, it is looking at tackling rising heat pump demand. As the adoption of heat pumps accelerates, the need for smarter solutions to tackle costly voltage drops and network strain is growing. The project will refine smart coordination tools that will support more heat pumps without the need for expensive network reinforcement and upgrades. This will ensure a reliable network that meets consumer needs and keeps them comfortable. But the flexibility of funding provided by SIF means that not all projects must follow the same path. Projects that align with a challenge and meet the necessary requirements can submit an application straight to Alpha or Beta. Projects that meet this criterion include those funded by SIF in a previous round or funded from an energy innovation fund such as the Network Innovation Allowance (NIA).
