Innovate UK Women in Innovation Awards
Launched in 2016, the Women in Innovation Awards were set up with the aim of addressing underrepresentation of women in business innovation and to encourage more females to apply for Innovate UK's funding opportunities.
Since the initiative began, £10.1m has been awarded to over 200 women.
Among the 2022/23 winners were:
Oxford Heartbeat: A powerful, 3D AI-led software system to make surgeries more predictable, safe and efficient.
TurboGaming: A pedal-powered games controller to get you off the couch onto a bike to play some of your favourite Playstation and Xbox racing games.
Future Piano: Revolutionising the design of Grand Pianos that fits in modern homes without compromising on sound while reducing the weight and carbon footprint by 60%.
