This month, the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK, launched a bold new movement called No Limits to help better support innovative talent across the UK: nolimits.ukri.org
 
Indro Mukerjee, CEO of Innovate UK, visited UTC Leeds to launch the No Limits digital platform to an audience at the college and via a livestream. Speaking alongside Innovate UK CEO Indro Mukerjee was Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire and chartered engineer Yewande Akinola MBE, each sharing their unique insights and calling for the ambitious innovators of tomorrow to take advantage of the support programmes made available today through No Limits.
 
The No Limits platform is designed to address a key barrier to innovation which is the complexity and sheer scale of the innovation ecosystem. It provides a digital marketplace, which connects aspiring innovators to skills, talent and investment programmes from Innovate UK and its many partners. Users can build a personalised profile and get customised results based on their needs and ambitions. The purpose is to make it easier for people to find the right level of support for their stage of development.
 
For the UK to reach its full potential and drive future productivity, 400,000[1] more innovators are needed, from entrepreneurs to engineers. The new No Limits platform is part of a wider talent and skills programme being developed by Innovate UK to pull together partners to help better match people with ambition, skills and talent with the support, advice and funding they need to succeed as innovators.
