Technology Strategy Board - £2.4B Grants

In May 2011 I published  some details of Technology Strategy Board grants for £635 Million over 3 years, more details here.
On August 16th 2013 the Technology Strategy Board released the figures for £2.4B of government from 2007 to 2013  spending on a spreadsheet,  click   Research and Development Grants. Then click on  "Collaborative" link.  This covered over 15,000 grants, many companies with multiple awards.

The crucial data omitted is those companies that were turned down, e.g. support for renewable energy in smaller companies.  This is rather like Kickstarter omitting the rejections as well. This would be really helpful for smaller companies. I have requested this from the TSB.



The spreadsheet  covers:
TSB Competition name

Company names, location

Amount in £

Dates

Project name
Research area e.g. Low Carbon,  Aerospace, Universities, Assisted Living. 

some top investments

Rolls Royce £182M
Airbus £65M
