11 specialist campuses

Eleven missions. One national effort.

The 11 campuses bring together the industries shaping Britain's future. Each campus shows the organisations, research, facilities, investment, jobs and opportunities Britain already has, then invites the people working within it to improve the picture.

Every campus

Individually, they reveal extraordinary capability. Together, they show what the United Kingdom could become.

Illustrative UKIZ campus. Not a proposed site.

Places

Britain's capability, place by place.

Every destination is a real place with recorded capability, a source and a review date. None of them is a proposed site or a ranking.

The capability map

19 places with evidenced capability, each with its source and review date.

Evidence

Check the record yourself.

Public evidence establishes the foundation. Every record carries its source, the date it was published and the date UKIZ last checked it. Where sources conflict, or the evidence runs out, the page says so, and members can add what public sources cannot see.

How UKIZ handles evidenceHelp improve Britain's innovation record

  • Sourced

    Each claim links to the record it came from.

  • Dated

    Published date and last-checked date are both shown.

  • Open to correction

    Where UKIZ holds nothing, it says so, and you can help fill it.

A personal message from Mark

I have made the start. Now I need your help.

Building UKIZ has been one of the most exciting and eye-opening things I have ever done. I have been genuinely astonished by what is happening up and down this country.

I have invested my own time and money into making a start, but no single person or organisation could complete it alone.

Now I am asking you to help make it real.
