Driving Innovation

The Technology Strategy Board

September 2012Tim Just (delivered by Paul Febvre)

Purpose of Presentation• Introduce the

Technology Strategy Board aims

• Provide information regarding the innovation toolsets

• Introduce the TSB role in Space

• Introduce the Satellite Applications Catapult

TSB vision is for the UK to be a global leader in innovation

How can we help UK business bring new ideas and technologies

faster to market?

What do the TSB aim to do?• We help strengthen the global competitive position of our

leading businesses• We identify and grow sectors and businesses with the

capacity to become the best in the world• We nurture the businesses that can succeed in the growth

sectors of tomorrow

We consider….

Can the UK do it? Is there a large market opportunity?

Is the idea ‘ready’? Can we make a difference?

Innovation Challenges• Business investment is too low and too late

• Technical and financial risks need to be mitigated• The time for financial return is too long for many players

• Innovation disrupts value chains and business models• New partnerships are required to build new supply chains• Investment and innovation is required at multiple points

• Longer term trends not visible to all players• Impact and opportunities from emerging technologies & policies

• Innovation infrastructure complex and inefficient• Fragmented and difficult to navigate

• Government does not make best use of its levers• Procurement, regulation, standardisation, fiscal incentives

TSB strategic focusAccelerating the journey between concept and commercialisation

Investing in priority areas based on potential

Connecting the innovation landscape

Turning government action into business opportunity

Continuously improving our capability

Innovation driven by procurement: SBRI

Closing the gap between concept and commercialisationThe vision: a network of world-leading centres

Bringing research and business together – accelerating commercialisation

A £200m investment in the future of the UK economy - for the long term

Choice of Technology Areas

• Broad Criteria– Potential global markets worth £ billions– UK world-leading research capability– UK business has ability to exploit the technology and

capture a significant share in the UK– Centres enable UK to attract and anchor knowledge

intensive activities of globally mobile companies– Closely aligned with, and essential to achieve, national

strategic technology objectives

All Catapult Centres announced :• High Value Manufacturing• Cell Therapy• Offshore Renewable Energy• Satellite Applications

TSB role in Space Satellite Applications Catapult

Tim JustLead Technologist

The UK space sector contributes £7.5 billion to the economy

Direct employment is 24,900

80,000 jobs are supported by space activities

57% of staff are graduates

Value added per employee is three times the UK average

The UK space industry is six times more R&D intensive than the UK economy as a whole

The UK space sector has been growing at some 9% pa, and the UK has a 7% share of the global market

By 2020, predicted to be worth £14.2 billion per year and supporting 115,000 more jobs

The Space Economy in the UK

UK Space Innovation and Growth Strategy• Global market forecast to be

worth £400 billion by 2030

• Strategy to capture 10% of market and create over 100,000 jobs in the UK

• ‘applications and services using Space data will be one of the most important elements for delivering growth’

National Space Technology Strategy and Roadmaps

• Based on the IGS recommendations• Detailed analysis of sector requirements

and capabilities• Divided into five areas:

– Sensors– Telecoms– Robotics & Exploration– Access to Space– Position, Navigation & Timing
