Innovate Lancashire’s work is aligned to the objectives of the Lancashire Innovation Plan (LIP), an ambitious five year economic growth strategy. Described as a ‘blueprint for growth’, the LIP is built around four central pillars: Grow, Expand, Connect and Tell.

The Grow and Expand pillars focus on maintaining and extending Lancashire’s world-class strengths in innovation-led sectors, boosting the County’s R&D capabilities, and maximising the new opportunities in emerging markets. The Connect and Tell pillars are centred on driving engagement with internal and external partners, national investors, and global markets.

The Lancashire Innovation Plan was developed by Lancashire County Council in partnership with the Lancashire Innovation Board, a cohort of senior business leaders, innovation experts and academics drawn from across Lancashire.
