Choose your route
Founder or builder
I am turning an idea into a company.
Start with the practical sequence from a first company decision through capital, research, manufacturing and customers.
Researcher or university
I have knowledge or technology that could travel further.
Find collaboration, licensing, spin out and specialist capability routes without starting from a list of organisations.
Company or innovation lead
I need a partner, facility or route to market.
Search what British organisations publish about their capability, then approach the organisation directly.
Investor or funder
I want to understand where British capability is growing.
Read the missions, companies, research and places behind the record. UKIZ does not rank places or sell access to members.
Based outside Britain
I am considering Britain for a company, team or partnership.
Use the relocation journey for setting up or expanding here, or go straight to the capability record for a collaboration from abroad.
Government or public sector
I need to see demonstrated demand and activity, rather than a directory.
Use the evidence behind Britain's capability to understand what is happening in each field and where public action may help.
Student or graduate
I am weighing a PhD, a studentship or my first role.
Find funded research, apprenticeships and early career routes, then see how universities and companies work together.
