Innovators from Teesside to Cornwall backed as new round of UK regions granted up to £20 million to grow thriving sectors

Imported from official source

Partnerships in regions across England and Wales backed to build on local innovation strengths and fast‑track ideas from prototype to market.

Regions across England and Wales are the latest to be backed by up to £20 million by the UK government to strengthen their local innovation economies and unleash benefits across the UK.

Funding awarded through the competition element of the UK government’s £500 million Local Innovation Partnerships Fund follows backing for the Tay City Region’s creative technologies sector.

  • Help the South West become one of the best places in the world to develop, test and use autonomous technology like drones on land, at sea and in the air.
  • Bring together the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor’s strengths in autonomous vehicles, high‑performance engineering and space technology, helping ideas move faster from test track to real‑world use.
  • Support Greater Lincolnshire in turning its mix of agri‑tech and defence expertise into real‑world products and growing businesses.
  • Energy Security, helping scale offshore wind, hydrogen and cleaner industrial energy using the region’s ports and infrastructure; and
  • Materials Security, developing new ways to recover, recycle and process critical materials so UK manufacturers rely less on imports.
  • Help East Midlands manufacturers to scale up clean energy and advanced production technologies. New testing and validation facilities, alongside supply‑chain and commercialisation support, will help smaller firms work with global manufacturers and bring new products to market.
  • Jointly support the regions of East Yorkshire and Hull, and separately Tees Valley, with up to £30m to support those regions working on a powerful clean energy and industrial decarbonisation programme that brings together the strengths and opportunities across them.
