UKRI Investor Partner │ Accelerating Equity Investment for Social Innovation
As an Investor Partner to Innovate UK, we accelerate the growth of high-potential ventures to attract private investment.
Through our partnership with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), we support the development of innovative UK businesses with strong growth potential. As a selected Investor Partner to Innovate UK, we play an active role in strengthening the investment landscape for early-stage ventures across a wide range of sectors.
The Investor Partnerships model is a collaborative approach designed to accelerate the growth of pioneering businesses by aligning public innovation funding with private investment. It brings together Innovate UK’s expertise and grant funding with the finance, commercial insight, and sector knowledge of selected investors.
Investor Partnerships are a strategic mechanism to address the equity investment gap, helping businesses become better positioned to secure the follow-on funding they need as they scale. This model ensures that high-potential ventures are not only funded, but also supported with the networks and expertise required to succeed in the long term.
Through our role as an Investor Partner, we work with UKRI to identify and support ventures developing transformative technologies and business models. Our partnership reflects a shared commitment to unlocking the potential of UK innovation and contributing to a dynamic, collaborative investment environment that drives productivity and long-term economic growth.
