Driving Innovation • The Technology Strategy Board September 2012 Tim Just (delivered by Paul Febvre) Mark Glover 12th January 2011
Purpose of Presentation • Introduce the Technology Strategy Board aims • Provide information regarding the innovation toolsets • Introduce the TSB role in Space • Introduce the Satellite Applications Catapult
TSB vision is for the UK to be a global leader in innovation How can we help UK business bring new ideas and technologies faster to market?
What do the TSB aim to do? • We help strengthen the global competitive position of our leading businesses • We identify and grow sectors and businesses with the capacity to become the best in the world • We nurture the businesses that can succeed in the growth sectors of tomorrow We consider….
Innovation Challenges • Business investment is too low and too late • Technical and financial risks need to be mitigated • The time for financial return is too long for many players • Innovation disrupts value chains and business models • New partnerships are required to build new supply chains • Investment and innovation is required at multiple points • Longer term trends not visible to all players • Impact and opportunities from emerging technologies & policies • Innovation infrastructure complex and inefficient • Fragmented and difficult to navigate • Government does not make best use of its levers • Procurement, regulation, standardisation, fiscal incentives
TSB strategic focus Accelerating the journey between concept and commercialisation Investing in priority areas based on potential Connecting the innovation landscape Turning government action into business opportunity Continuously improving our capability
The Toolset Range of Tools with different objectives / characteristics Smart Collaborative R&D Launchpad
Budget Distribution between Tools • Challenge Driven • Thematic Programme • SBRI • Catapult (TIC) • Responsive • Smart(Grant for R&D) • Eurostar • KTP • KTN NB. Our programmes attract significant levels of funding from other organisations, both public and private sector, which is not included in the above.
Knowledge Transfer Networks Complemented with cross-sector, challenge-led Special Interest Groups such as in Space, Defence and Industrial Biotechnology
Using government procurement to drive innovation. Enables public sector organisations to procure new technologies faster and with managed risk. Provides paid contracts for the critical stage of product development Relaunched 2009 18 Government Departments engaged Major interest from other public sector bodies 42 competitions 1630 applications 519 contracts (>60% new companies) Innovation driven by procurement: SBRI
Closing the gap between concept and commercialisation The vision: a network of world-leading centres Bringing research and business together – accelerating commercialisation A £200m investment in the future of the UK economy - for the long term
Choice of Technology Areas • Broad Criteria • Potential global markets worth £ billions • UK world-leading research capability • UK business has ability to exploit the technology andcapture a significant share in the UK • Centres enable UK to attract and anchor knowledge intensive activities of globally mobile companies • Closelyaligned with, and essential to achieve, national strategic technology objectives
