Company Type

UK government fun of funds for investment in technology funds.

A fund of funds that will invest in technology-based companies in the UK. It will stimulate additional private sector investment in technology based venture capital. The Department for Business Innovation and Skills, with the Department of Health and Department of Energy and Climate Change will invest £150 million alongside private sector investment. It is our belief that this could leverage enough private sector investment to build this into a 10 year £1 billion fund and make it the largest technology fund in Europe. The UK Innovation Fund has been created to drive economic growth and create jobs by investing in technology-based businesses with high growth potential. The new fund will focus on investing in growing small businesses, start-ups and spin-outs, in strategically important UK sectors including digital and life sciences, clean technology and advanced manufacturing. The Fund was announced by the Prime Minister on 29 June as part of the Government’s strategy for Building Britain’s Future. The UK Innovation Fund will safeguard the Government’s record investment in science over the past decade by utilising the wealth-generating potential of the UK research base. It will leverage substantial private sector investment and will boost the venture capital and syndication markets in the UK at a time when they are most vulnerable. The Fund will operate on a Fund of Funds structure which means it will not invest directly in companies, but rather invest in a small number of specialist technology funds that have the expertise and track record to invest directly in companies.
