Request received: 21 October 2022
I am looking into UK-funded tech projects. I appreciate this is a very broad topic. However, I noticed on your website (which is superb btw), that you have access to public information on grant/fund competition winners, the link to which is below:
https://www.gov.uk/search/transparency-and-freedom-of-information-releases?organisations%5B%5D=innovate-uk&parent=innovate-uk
Unfortunately, I can only find this for the years 2014 and 2015 (as attached). Do you have access to such information for more recent years, such as 2016 to 2022?
What I am interested in is which companies (not just the lead, but all companies involved) were awarded funds.
I also read in the FOI page the results of UK-China Partnerships funding. Do you have more information in relation to other UK-China funding partnerships between the years 2012-2022? I have attached the one from 2014 also as a reference.
If so, I would be grateful if I would be able to access them as it is invaluable to my research.Published: 31 January 2023

For each of the last three rounds of both Smart Grants and Biomedical Catalyst Grants, what proportion of the total project cost consisted of subcontract costs.
I'd like this information for successful grants only. For the smart grants, if you're able to further break that information down by grant topic area (life sciences, transport, creative industries for example), that would be great. However, this is less essential.Published: 31 January 2023
