An overview of 'infocus': our work to promote diversity and inclusion in innovation.
Overview
‘infocus’ is Innovate UK’s approach to diversity and inclusion. Through this we shine a spotlight where there is currently under representation in business innovation to support and empower people to innovate, and grow the UK economy.
We want to find the best and most talented innovators from a diverse range of backgrounds, and provide them with the resources, advice and self-belief to succeed.
We launched ‘infocus’ in 2016. Women in innovation is the first ‘infocus’ campaign. This is designed to get more women innovating in business. The awards give female entrepreneurs the support they need to grow their businesses, and create new role models for the next generation.
