LIPF supports partnerships between local government, businesses and research organisations to turn existing local research breakthroughs into practical solutions that improve people’s lives.
Local partners will now work with UKRI to design projects that target this investment, building on existing local strengths. It will help to fast track ideas from prototype to market, back collaborative research and development, attract expert talent, and open up clear routes to investment and new markets.
