Technology Strategy Board (TSB)
The Technology Strategy Board is a business-led government body which works to create economic growth by ensuring that the UK is a global leader in innovation. It brings together business, research and the public sector, supporting and accelerating the development of innovative products and services to meet market needs, tackle major societal challenges and help build the future economy. The organisation focuses on a range of areas where innovation has great potential, from transport to biosciences and from construction to the creative industries. It is a key channel through which the government incentivises business-led technology innovation in those sectors of the UK economy which present the greatest opportunity to boost UK growth.
There are many ways in which the Technology Strategy Board works with business to drive innovation:
- Establishing a new network of technology and innovation centres
- Collaborative research and development
- Knowledge Transfer Networks (KTNs)
- Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)
- SBRI (the Small Business Research Initiative)
- International programmes
