Speaking at the start of Wales Tech Week at ICC Wales in Newport, the Minister was joined by the CEO of Innovate UK, Indro Mukerjee, to launch the joint Collaborative Innovation Plan. 


The plan aims to harness the country’s innovative spirit, helping business and organisations share ideas and use new technologies.


It follows through on commitments made over the past 12 months, building on the Welsh Government and Innovate UK  memorandum of understanding agreement in April.


This plan moves both parties one step further towards their shared ambition of driving up innovation investment and greater competitively won funding for Welsh research, development and innovation by setting out concrete actions and milestones to work towards.


Three areas of focus include:


* Ensuring entrepreneurs, businesses, academia, public sector and third sector in Wales have a simple, connected, visible and effective route to access innovation support mechanisms.
* Ensuring innovation stakeholders in Wales are aware of and engage with the opportunities available to them to increase the number, diversity, and positive impact of businesses innovating within Wales.
* Using data to understand the demographics of Wales’ innovation community and actively seek to address inequalities in access to innovation support.
