The Technology Strategy Board covers the whole of the United Kingdom, and we are keen to ensure that businesses are involved in our programmes not just in England, but right across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We therefore work closely with our partner organisations in the Devolved Administrations, aiming to:

• raise awareness of our programmes and activities, encourage greater business engagement and participation, and to help build the innovative capacity of businesses throughout the UK;
• increase take-up of the innovation advice and support services being funded and delivered through the various bodies and agencies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; and
• ensure effective alignment between the innovation initiatives and investments being carried out in each of the Devolved Administrations with Technology Strategy Board programmes and priorities, so as to maximise their reach and impact.
