Innovate UK is presented by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) as the UK's national innovation agency. Its homepage says it backs promising deep tech businesses in the UK's priority sectors by providing funding, expert support and connections, and it lists funding opportunities for UK-registered businesses and innovation projects. The site gives its address as Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, SN2 1FL.
Innovate UK is a public-sector funder rather than a conventional venture investor. While its remit is broad rather than exclusively quantum, UKRI news covers quantum breakthroughs and Aquark Technologies, Qruise, KETS Quantum Security and ICEoxford mention Innovate UK support or grants for quantum companies and projects.
