Investing across the UK
Each investment is part of the SIF portfolio designed to have benefits across the UK economy , ranging from the UK Innovation Investment Fund to sectoral investments to support specific projects . Although some projects are physically located in particular places , they are designed to provide support to businesses across the UK and will have wide-reaching benefits to supply chains across the whole of the UK .
A significant amount of the funding is being invested jointly with key delivery partners . For example , the Technology Strategy Board has an important role in stimulating innovation in those areas which offer the greatest scope for boosting UK productivity and growth . Funding across its portfolio of programmes will be allocated on the basis of UK capability , market opportunity , impact and leverage . These programmes are well aligned to delivering the vision set out in the detailed policy statements that government has made , for example in Life Sciences , Digital Britain and the UK Low Carbon Transition Plan .
