West Midlands Innovation Programme

WELCOME TO THE WEST MIDLANDS INNOVATION PROGRAMME

The West Midlands Innovation Programme (WMIP) launched in 2019 to deliver the innovation framework that sits within the West Midlands Local Industrial Strategy. Since April 2023 it is funded by Innovate UK as part of the West Midlands Innovation Accelerator portfolio of projects.

With a focus on demand-led (or market-pull) business innovation, WMIP has been driving up levels of innovation across all areas of the region, by delivering a stronger, more integrated innovation support offer to business and providing targeted support to business to access more national innovation funding.
