Innovate UK Investor Partnership
Overview
The Innovate UK Investor Partnership is a UK government-backed programme that supports innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by aligning its grant funding with private equity investment. It aims to address the 'equity investment gap' by de-risking R&D for private investors and accelerating growth. The programme brings together Innovate UK's grant funding with aligned capital from a selected pool of 'investor partners', which includes venture capital funds, corporate investors, and angel groups. To receive funding, companies must first secure investment interest from one of these partners. The programme focuses on future economy areas such as Net Zero, Health and Wellbeing, and Digital Technologies.
