- EU – funding for business research and development and innovation – find out about the substantial opportunities under the H2020 programme launched this January
- Intellectual Property Office – patents, how to optimise the value of your intellectual property
- Design Council – help to strengthen the potential of your innovation, identify opportunities to commercialise your technology and then realise those opportunities through design projects
