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

Evidence
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.
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.
