Notice Title

UK SBS BLOJEU-CR17077INN - Advanced Materials Landscape

Notice Description

Advanced materials can be defined as: Materials designed for targeted properties and includes both completely new materials and those that are developments on traditional materials. Such materials show novel or improved structural and/or functional properties. (https://connect.innovateuk.org/documents/26203578/0/High-Level%20Strategy%20-%20National%20Strategy%20for%20Advanced%20Materials?version=1.0) Practically, at Innovate UK we recognise that all cutting edge material research could be considered advanced materials. This includes innovation in: metals, polymers, composites, coatings, nanomaterials/2D/graphene, glass, ceramics and electronic and functional materials. Innovate UK is organised into four sector teams. Each of these teams focuses on a specific set of industrial areas. Advanced materials industries are supported under the Manufacturing and materials directorate. The Directorate had a budget of PS137m focused on supporting both advanced material and manufacturing businesses. The Directorate also fund the 7 High Value Manufacturing Catapults across the UK that support cutting edge innovation in manufacturing. With a small team of 5, the advanced materials team are tasked with supporting a diverse range of industries. Historically, our focus to date has been to target competitions on specific topic areas. However, with publication of the Industrial Strategy Green Paper and the announcement of the PS4.9bn Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund we have an opportunity to develop larger programmes targeting materials sectors. We want understand the size, shape and capabilities of the whole advanced materials sector and individual advanced materials industries within it: including their supply chain and their customers in the UK, as well as their growth rates. This is so that the Advanced materials teams in Innovate UK and central BEIS can better target government innovation support and investment to help this sector grow. We hope that a better understanding of the sector will help us retain research, development and innovation in the UK, for example by making it easier for those engaged with innovation projects to find UK manufacturers for the new products they develop.
