People and places
The UK IDG represents the UK’s leading innovative people and places. Our Members bring businesses, universities, the public sector, and local communities together in a curated place, to develop new technology and practices. Collectively, the network is tackling some of society’s biggest challenges – from net zero interventions, to combatting the spread of infectious disease, to developing new applications for artificial intelligence – and everything in between.
We add value to people and places by linking practical learning, academic research, think tanks and government policy with practitioners, investors, businesses and innovators.
We are helping to drive real change by convening the curious and credible people who are designing, delivering and animating innovation districts in the UK.
