What we do

The UK Innovation Report

Our flagship assessment of the UK’s innovation system and its industrial implications.

This series provides deep dives into how the UK is performing in global innovation, emerging technology areas, industrial transformation and productivity. It’s structured to help you draw evidence-based conclusions about what works (and what doesn’t) in UK innovation policy.

The UK Manufacturing Dashboard

A dynamic, data-rich tool that presents key metrics on UK manufacturing, offering sector-by-sector and international comparative insights.

This dashboard presents long-term trends, trade performance, productivity, sectoral breakdowns and global benchmarking – making it a go-to resource for analysts and policy practitioners looking at the manufacturing dimension of industrial strategy.

“The UK Innovation Report provides us with a clear and succinct overview of key trends across UK industry. In addition, the deep dives into certain sectors provide tangible insights to help inform our views on how we can best target support. We look forward to the next iteration.”

David Elson, Innovate UK

“We wanted to understand global policy best practice in supporting manufacturing value chains. CIIP were a clear choice given their research expertise and global contacts. The team were responsive and flexible in meeting our requirements and the findings have already influenced our policy approach.”

“The study by CIIP forms a valuable evidence base which is now being used to inform the development of an Industry 4.0 strategy for Ireland.”

Senior Policy Analyst, Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Government of Ireland

“The work completed by CIIP will surely play an instrumental role in the diversification and economic development plans of the country going forward.”
