As global leaders gather for the G7 Summit in Cornwall to discuss building back better from the COVID-19 pandemic and creating a greener, more prosperous future, we showcase the outstanding South West innovators that are delivering on these goals.

Innovate UK EDGE supports innovators from across the Great South West region who are pushing new boundaries in Health-Tech, environment, Agri-Tech, transport, energy and many other sectors.

Our G7 Series illustrates how they’re delivering on key G7 policy priorities, in collaboration with partners in other G7 countries.
