Innovate UK is cutting the businesses it backs each year from ~10,000 to ~3,000. It’s the same pot, but fewer winners.
We've broken down what this (and 2 other big changes) means for you: pixelshrink.com/blog/innovate-uk-big-shift-changes-funding-applications/

SWANSEA: University team works to turn food waste into natural Vitamin C
Swansea University scientists are exploring whether food-processing waste could be turned into a natural source of Vitamin C.
The work is part of a project with BIOVIT, a Tenby-based nutrition start-up, backed by funding from the UK innovation agency Innovate UK.
The team is examining agricultural and food-processing waste to assess how much of its vitamins and minerals can be recovered.
BIOVIT says its early research found that up to 60% of the vitamins and minerals in fruit and vegetable material can be lost during processing — which the partners see as an opportunity for recovery.
Researchers from Swansea University’s Natural Products BioHUB are leading the scientific and extraction work alongside the company.
The aim is to offer a sustainable, natural alternative to the synthetic Vitamin C widely used in supplements and fortified foods.
If it works, the partners say the process could show how food waste can be converted into high-value nutritional ingredients, opening up new opportunities for greener manufacturing in Wales.
The project follows recent recognition for BIOVIT’s “Circular Vitamin C” concept, which won two prizes — including the overall Innovation of the Year award — at the IFE Manufacturing Ingredients Awards in March.
Dr Farooq Shah, director of the Natural Products BioHUB at Swansea University, said the team was taking something usually seen as waste and exploring whether it could become part of the solution.
He said combining the company’s commercial ambition with the university’s expertise in natural products, green chemistry and biotechnology could help turn food-processing waste into high-value ingredients.
“It is a strong example of how university–SME collaboration can support circular manufacturing, strengthen regional supply chains and help position Wales at the forefront of the green economy,” he said.
Ky Wright, founder and chief executive of BIOVIT, said the company wanted to improve people’s health using natural vitamins and minerals.
“Most supplements and fortified foods still rely on artificial vitamins, often produced through synthetic processes. We believe there is a better way,” he said.
He said working with Swansea University gave the firm access to the research expertise needed to develop natural Vitamin C from fruit-processing waste.
Professor Chedly Tizaoui, professor of chemical engineering at Swansea University, said the project paired a real scientific challenge with commercial relevance.
He said the goal was to establish a reliable, scalable route to natural Vitamin C drawn from fruit-processing residues.
The project is supported through Innovate UK’s Launchpad scheme for net zero industry in south-west Wales, and aligns with UK and Welsh Government ambitions on net zero and the circular economy.
It is the latest research tie-up for the university, which recently saw a Swansea firm win a grant to develop an eco-friendly way of tackling slugs.

Just wondering who else on here works in research and could maybe tell me what people are saying in comments are on this article? In essence, the UK government agency that gives out grants to tech (clean tech, medicine etc) SMEs to do research hasn't been doing much for six months. The techbro in charge has decided AI means that written applications are now obsolete. However, he fails to suggest an alternative. #research #deeptech #ukri #innovateuk

@EC_NGI @NGIZero @nlnet has one of the simplest accessible applications procedure in this space.
We do have a massive issue with diversity in Tech. Look to the UK with the recent #innovateuk scandal.
There's very little opportunity for community grassroots FOSS.
So we need to be vocal, and united.
Once you've filled in the survey, if you haven't already done so, fill in the open letter.

@onepict they'd need to actually care about making shit happen rather than performative vanity "£Xm spent on innovation" projects for that.
I think it needs a complete overhaul (as does that whole system) but it's shameful they can't even manage to fund 50 women.
Not massively surprised, the two times I've been involved in #InnovateUK bids one involved a female founder, and the other a female co-founder, and both times failed (although I was the common factor across those, so maybe it's me 😀)
-
But it's heartbreaking seeing other women go through what amounts to a bait and switch with only 25 places instead of the promised 50 places being funded.
"Taking to LinkedIn, one founder wrote: “We were told there would be 50 awards available, so it’s a bit of a gut punch to see that only half of those were actually awarded.”"
-
While the EU does need to improve on diversity and equality in Tech, it's further along than some.
Take InnovateUK who's currently in a PR crisis, trying to rewrite history on it's website as women founders cry foul.
One of the things I love about being in the EU is my project and therefore me being funded by @NGIAssure and @nlnet
The UK really could take a trick from small seed grants to help folks kick off their projects and develop community.
