Neil Morgan
Project Leader

Driving Innovation
Who are the Technology Strategy Board?
• We are a national body set up to invest in
business innovation
• We work across business, universities and
government
– ..and anyone else who can help
• We come from business (and the public sector)
– 75 people with over 600 years of business experience
• We are responsible for investing £1bn over the
next 3 years

Driving Innovation
Our purpose
• Is to support businesses to be more profitable, now
and in the future
• There are some markets we can predict…
• …the ones that are driven by Governments to
address societal challenges…
• … and others driven by the needs of people, which
need proper analysis before prediction

Driving Innovation
Innovation Platforms
• We work with Government as they
address societal challenges to give
business the future market definition
they need to be competitive
– Intelligent Transport Systems and Services
– Network Security
– Low Carbon Vehicles
– Assisted Living
– Low Impact Buildings
– Detection and Identification of Infectious Agents

Driving Innovation
Challenge
• 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050
• Housing in the UK accounts for 27% of carbon
emissions
• >80% of the houses we will be living in 2050
have already been built

Driving Innovation
Background
• Heat and Energy Saving Strategy consultation
(DCLG and DECC)
• Social housing accounts for approximately 20%
of UK housing stock
• UKGBC estimate the market to be worth £3.5 –
£6.5bn per year

Driving Innovation
Competition - £10m currently
• A minimum of 50 social housing demonstrators
covering different housing types and geographic
areas
• Suppliers receive a contract covering 100% of
costs
• Solutions that focus on improving the performance
of the whole dwelling
