The Technology Strategy Board promotes innovation in many ways

Our approach is summed up in the words connect and catalyse.

Much of our work is in spreading knowledge, understanding policy, spotting opportunities and bringing people together to solve problems or make new advances. We also invest in and manage a range of delivery mechanisms and programmes to drive technology-enabled innovation.

To guide our work we have identified technology areas and application areas where efforts are focused, with Innovation Platforms targeting specific areas of challenge.
