Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many projects Innovate UK has provided funding for in (a) England, (b) Wales, (c) Scotland, (d) Northern Ireland and (e) London and the South East in each year since its inception.
We have announced increases in public R&D spending worth £7bn up to 2021/2022, and we are working with UK Research and Innovation and other key partners to develop a roadmap that sets out how government and industry will work together to reach our target of increasing R&D investment to 2.4% of GDP by 2027, which would be the highest recorded level, and 3% in the longer-term.
Over the last 12 years Innovate UK, now part of UK Research and Innovation, has invested over £2.2 billion in innovation. This has spanned more than 11,000 projects that have generated up to £16 billion in Gross Value Added for the UK economy and 70,000 jobs.
