“The Big Innovation Centre will think, influence and do, so contributing to make Britain a global innovation hub.”

Will Hutton
Chair of the Big Innovation Centre

The Big Innovation Centre is an unprecedented business-backed centre in the UK, bringing together the best thinking and practice from our leading companies, SMEs, world-class universities and public sector institutions. In our ambition to make the UK a global innovation hub, we seek to make an impact on the economic landscape of the UK by conducting in-depth analysis of the key issues and challenges in each of our research focus areas.

Our evidence-based research is hardwired in practical recommendations. Since our launch by Business Secretary Vince Cable in September 2011, the Big Innovation Centre has also acted as an incubator for new ideas and business models; we also work with regions across the UK to help develop local innovative capacity.
