4 About the Technology Strategy Board The Technology Strategy Board was established by the Government in As the UK s primary technological innovation agency, we promote and invest in research, development and exploitation of technology and innovation for the benefit of UK business, to increase economic growth and improve the quality of life. Investing around 1bn in innovation between 2008 and 2011, we are sponsored by the UK s Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. Modern Built Environment KTN The Modern Built Environment Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) is a key route for engagement with other bodies, particularly industrial and academic. The Modern Built Environment KTN is our partner in running briefing workshops for all our competitions for funding, and actively works to build consortia that can bid for funding to Technology Strategy Board programmes. With more than 10,000 individual members, more than 2000 organisations involved, and more than 100 events and workshops, the KTN supports us by providing an industry perspective. Low impact buildings We launched the Low Impact Buildings Innovation Platform in May 2008 to help the UK construction industry deliver buildings with a much lower environmental impact. Our vision is to enable UK industry to supply the emerging market in low-impact buildings and solutions driven by Government targets and policy. We are investing jointly with industry and other funders in projects to bring innovative solutions to this growing market, and to overcome barriers to the wider use of existing solutions.
