• What innovation means to us• The real challenges
• Re-inventing our futures -The Long Term Care Revolution• Lighting, photonics and sensors- the game changers?
• Next steps
Innovate UK – who we are
We are the UK’s innovation agency Independent arms length body created in May 2007 Funded by BIS We are solution-focused, passionate about innovation, curious and creative, one dynamic team, and
committed to helping one another Everything we do is driven by one question: Will it help UK businesses bring new ideas and
technologies to market faster? For every pound we invest it is estimated to return at least £3 for feasibility studies, £9 for Smart
Awards and up to £35 in some areas for collaborative research and development.
Innovate UK – what we do
We accelerate economic growth by stimulating and supporting business-led innovation We use a number of tools to support business innovation, one of which is SBRI We help businesses understand future markets and the innovation opportunities created by the
challenges of today – and make the most of them We break down barriers to innovation, eg through large scale demonstrators for new ideas and
products Through connections and networks we enable people and companies to work together to share
ideas and make innovation happen We bring together partners to maximise funding for innovation and get groups of organisations
working together
Innovation – defined
“Innovation is achieving something significant that would otherwise would not happen unless you are prepared to take the risk and do something special.”
Peter Wintlev-Jensen, Deputy Head of Unit, European Commission DG CONNECT

Long term care should not cost us everything it means to be human
The Long Term Care Revolution – what is it?
Its an ambitious programme to stimulate and catalyse innovation in long term care. Its sole purpose is to disrupt the institutional model of long term care provision as we know it in the
UK . Its aim is to create diverse, vibrant, cutting-edge non-institutionalised products, services and systems
that are fit for purpose, fit for the future, sustainable and responsive to public demand. Its NOT about reforming what exists, but about replacing a 19th century model with alternatives that
reflect 21st century living and advances.
The Long Term Care Revolution – the imperative to act
• By 2051 the numbers of people aged 65 years and over in the UK will increase by 81% (GAD, 2003)• The support ratio is falling 3.10 in 2011 to 3.09 in 2021, then to 2.53 in 2031, then below 2.2 in the
2050s before levelling off. (GAD, 2003)• Residential home and Nursing home places will need to expand by around 150% over the next 50
years (Wittenberg et al, 2004)• Hours of home care by around 140% over the next 50 years. (Wittenberg et al, 2004)• Long term care expenditure would need to rise by 315% in real terms between now and 2051 to
meet demographic demands. (Wittenberg et al, 2004)• The number of older adults in need of care is expected to outstrip the number of family members able
to provide informal care for the first time in 2017 (IPPR, 2014)
Long Term Care Revolution - background
• Market analysis by Frost & Sullivan
• Social research report by Kings College
• Ethnographic study by Experience research
2011-2012
• LTCR Sandpit challenge
• Sandpit projects
2013-2014
• LTCR SBRI national challenge
• National challenge projects
2015-2018
The Long Term Care Revolution SBRI national challenge – the ask
To disrupting the existing institutional model of long term care provision that has been in existence in the UK since the early 19th century by: Developing game changing products, services and/or systems that will
disrupt the pathway to institutional care
Developing alternative models/ways/approaches that are dignified, desirable and affordable alternatives to the status quo
The LTCR – Competition scope
• Demonstrate significant innovation and high risk where Innovate UK investment will add value
• Demonstrate the transfer and re-purposing of existing, new or emerging innovations (technological, social or economic) in development
• Demonstrate the translation of academic research to support business innovation and development
The game changers
We specifically encouraged applications from consortia that included companies outside the conventional health and social care sectors. We believe they can apply fresh and innovative ideas to this intractable challenge. Eg. robotics and autonomous systems, lighting and photonics, sensors, advanced materials, energy, financial services, retail, design, creative industries, space, aviation, engineering, architecture, hospitality and tourism, housing, building, transport.Eg. engineering and physical sciences, social sciences, medical sciences, arts and humanities, bio-sciences.Eg. religious groups, volunteer groups, condition-specific support groups, charities, foundations, schools, youth groups.
Lighting and photonics – an ‘enabling’ technology
• Aerospace technology • Agriculture• Biomedicine • Construction • Engineering, micro-technology, and nanotechnology • Alternate Energy / Green Solutions • Environmental technology • Geographic information systems and global positioning• Information technology - • Chemical technology • Transportation • Homeland security• Manufacturing • Biotechnology • Solid State Lighting
Next steps
Targeted activity lighting and photonics and sensors robotics and automated systems autonomous vehicles
Oversight/Task and Finish group to frame the next stage of the programme
New strategic partnerships, alliances and champions
Tackle the barriers to meeting public demand - legislation, certification, policy, data security,
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world:
someone to love, something to do,
and something to live for.
