Innovate UK

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, is the UK’s innovation agency. It works to create a better future by inspiring, involving and investing in businesses developing life-changing innovations. Its mission is to help companies to grow through their development and commercialisation of new products, processes, and services, supported by an outstanding innovation ecosystem that is agile, inclusive and easy to navigate.

Innovate UK Business Connect, part of the Innovate UK family, connects innovators with new partners and new opportunities beyond their existing thinking – accelerating ambitious ideas into real-world solutions.

Members from the Innovate UK Business Connect  Chemistry and Industrial Biotechnology team will be joined at the exhibition stand by colleagues from Innovate UK and BBSRC,  the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. If you would like advice on funding opportunities for your innovation projects or need help identifying the right partner to scale-up your new process/ technology, then please drop by to talk to one of our experts.

Our two sessions will showcase innovators who support the Evolution of the chemicals industry away from virgin fossil carbon as feedstock and Technologies that will disrupt chemical manufacturing. We want to inspire more companies from the chemical sector to engage with the innovation ecosystem and reimagine what we can achieve if we develop and deploy the right technologies and methodologies together.
