The Industrial Strategy underlines the importance of knowledge, skills, research and technology to the UK’s productivity challenge and its deep-seated regional imbalances. Universities are clearly critical for the UK to address these challenges.

This masterclass will equip delegates with an understanding of the requirements from funders (such as Innovate UK) in the development of successful collaborative funding bid proposals - in anticipation of future Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund calls.

Innovate UK’s activities have one overarching goal in mind: to increase UK economic growth through connecting and funding business-led innovation.

Using insight gained from working across a range of sectors and policy areas, Hatch Regeneris will deliver an insight into the five case model approach to project management and the HM Treasury’s Green Book appraisal process – key framework tools for successful business case development.

The Five Case Model is applicable to policies, strategies, programmes and projects and comprises of five key dimensions:

The Strategic Case
The Economic Case
The Commercial Case
The Financial Case
The Management Case

The workshop will also look at some of the common challenges arising in the development of collaborative funding bids and how to address these.

Presenter: Tim Fanning is a Director at Hatch Regeneris with 14 years’ experience in economic consultancy. He specialises in business case development, economic impact assessment and appraisal. He works across a wide range of sectors and policy areas, but has particular experience in working with universities, research councils and Innovate UK on HM Treasury Green Book business cases, funding bids and economic research exercises.
