Supercharging UK Tech and Innovation
The opportunities of innovation are endless. Automation, IoT, AI, Edge, Quantum, Drones and High Performance Computing all have the power to transform the UK.
techUK members lead the development of these technologies. Together we are working with Government and other stakeholders to address tech innovation priorities and build an innovation ecosystem that will benefit people, society, economy and the planet - and supercharge the UK as a global leader in tech and innovation.
The three ingredients of innovation:

Tech and Innovation Series
Institutions of Innovation
This series explores the key institutions leading innovation policy across the UK Government and research landscape. Through monthly interviews, it aims to piece together a landscape which over the past few years has evolved considerably following the creation and merging of departments, formation of new agencies and offices, and transferring of remits and responsibilities.
Meet the Innovators
This series celebrates the work of members in promoting a healthy UK innovation ecosystem. Such an ecosystem would see a wide range of stakeholders collaborating on innovations that improve the lives of the UK population in a profound and sustainable manner, including through boosting productivity, tackling climate change, creating jobs, and facilitating economic growth.
Future Visions
This series explores the next-generation technologies at the cutting edge of research and development that are set to disrupt industries, challenge incumbents, and act as a catalyst for growth. It offers the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in technology from those at the heart of its development, and what this might mean for your business.
Industries of the Future
This series explores how emerging and enabling technologies are transforming key industries by assessing the challenges and opportunities for UK businesses and considering what more can be done (by Government, industry, and academia) to accelerate innovation and make the UK a science and technology superpower.
