Research, Innovation, Discovery & Impact
The UKBT Institute is the research and innovation engine of UKBlackTech. It is a cross-sector body of technologists, clinicians, data scientists, engineers, academics, entrepreneurs, policymakers, creative practitioners and grassroots communities. The Institute operates as a Townhouse, a collaborative environment where different disciplines come together to investigate emerging technologies, explore new ideas and solve real-world challenges. Using our Townhouse Innovation Model and Practitioner Readiness Level (PRL) Framework, we transform ideas into research, pilots, prototypes and scalable innovation.
