Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how many UK companies are participating in how many projects in the Horizon Europe programme.

On 7th September the Prime Minister announced a new UK- EU agreement on the UK’s association to Horizon Europe from 2024. This means UK businesses and researchers can participate confidently in the world’s largest programme of research cooperation.

In addition, support for businesses and researchers continues to be available via the Horizon Europe guarantee which covers all remaining Horizon grant calls up to and including work programme 2023.

As of 30 September 2023, the Guarantee has issued 2,654 Grants worth £1.395 billion. Further detail on UK participation can be found at UKRI’s Gateway to research website.
