tabling member constituency	Sedgefield

uin	904753
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2023 answer text Strengthening clusters is a top priority for building our Innovation Nation. More places in the UK hosting world-leading and globally connected innovation clusters will create more jobs, productivity and growth. <br /> This will require significant investment from the private sector, both domestic and overseas. The interactive digital tool we will publish in September, which maps the UK’s clusters, will be crucial in helping us attract this investment and informing future policy. <br /> In the meantime, we continue to fund a range of programmes to enhance clusters. For example, we are investing £100 million to pilot Innovation Accelerators in three city regions, helping them become major, globally competitive centres for research and innovation. <br /> Catapults have a track record of accelerating growth clusters, both building national capacity and driving local impact. For the next 5-year funding period the UK’s 9 Catapults will receive £1.6bn of direct public funding. An example is the Connected Places Catapult which is the UK’s innovation accelerator for cities, transport and place leadership. answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 03/05/2023 15:44:01 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
