Request

Request received: 27 January 2026

I’ve checked your previous information release database and I can’t find anything, but can you tell me whether an FOI request has already been made, for how much Innovate UK spends per annum on supporting disabled applicants apply for Innovate UK funding? I used keywords ‘Accessibility’ and ‘Access’ and ‘Access Support’.

If not, can I please make a request for the following:

• What the annual budget/expenditure is, for Innovate UK, to support disabled applicants to apply for Innovate UK funding, due to your online application process not being accessible to all.

• Annual spend in 2024 or 2025.
