Innovate UK and the Economic and Social Research Council are investing £26.5 million in the Next Generation Professional and Financial Services programme.
The programme is bringing together businesses and the social sciences.
It will help professional service sectors, including accounting and law, and the financial service sectors, including insurance, lending, advisory and payment services, develop and use digital technologies.
These key service sectors are critical to the future economy and this new programme will:
- drive economic growth
- secure UK capability
- underpin economic and societal resilience
