"This fund is our Plan for Change in action,"
"It empowers local leaders, researchers, and businesses with skin in the game to deliver transformational research that creates jobs and improves lives in their area."
"Ten regions already have our support and will be able to deliver game-changing innovations to benefit their communities,"
"Now we're extending this opportunity to the rest of the country, and I encourage partnerships everywhere to come forward, and show how they can unlock their local expertise to create tomorrow's innovations."
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has opened the Local Innovation Partnerships Fund (LKRI) for local and regional groups to bid for government support of up to £20 million each. The fund aims to support research and innovation across the UK by building on regional strengths and translating research breakthroughs into practical solutions that create jobs and improve lives. Ten regions have already received backing with at least £30 million each to invest in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, digital technologies, and clean energy. The programme will invest up to £500 million to develop and scale innovation clusters and encourages partnerships of local leaders, researchers, and businesses to unlock local expertise and stimulate economic growth.
