Other Government Support for Innovation

Other Government Departments, Regional and National Development Agencies, Devolved Administrations and Research Councils are contributing funding to the Technology Programme.

Over the period 2005 - 2008, £370m is available to businesses in the form of grants to support research and development in technology areas critical to the growth of the UK economy. £50m of this has been contributed by DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) through their Business Resource Efficiency and Waste (BREW) programme and will be directed at projects that will increase the sustainability of businesses. The Technology Programme has also attracted funding (£25million) from Research Councils and Regional Development Agencies / Devolved administrations.
