Request

Request Received: 23 March 2022

I am trying to gain further understanding of the support of Innovate UK by sector in the UK specifically, for competitions which are "Open" - i.e. the present iteration of SMART. Therefore, I am requesting under the Freedom of Information act the following:

1) For the 2 most recent SMART ROUNDS (Innovate UK Smart Grants: October 2021 ID:1035; Innovate UK Smart Grants: August 2021 ID:963), split by upper (projects >19 months <£2M) and lower stream (projects <18 months <£500K) where possible, a breakdown of total number of applications and successful applications by "Innovation Area" - as selected at point of submission (under Applications details)

2) If possible a count of "active" reviewers for each of the listed innovation areas.

3) If (1) is not possible (for example it would take it over the time limit as you would have to log into each application to extract the "innovation area") please can I request instead a list of all Lead Organizations which have applied to each round, split by stream.

4) If (3) is not possible a breakdown of total number of applications and successful applications by company SIC code (as available from Companies House).
