The UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK, has published a strategy that seeks to encourage and support excellent design in innovation. It will launch a programme that will meet business need under four themes – making the case for investment in design, reducing the cost of entry for those new to design, helping businesses access the best design talent and helping businesses maximise the value contribution of design. The programme will include grant funding opportunities for human-centred design activity as well as broader initiatives. Further information and the strategy are available here.
