The Institute of Innovation and Knowledge Exchange (IKE Institute) is the UK’s professional body for innovators. The Institute accredits, certifies, and benchmarks innovation capabilities, providing research and development, as well as training and mentoring in innovation and digital transformation. We have experience of collaborating with sectors including Construction, Creative, Defence, Education, Energy, Manufacturing, Space, Health, and Technology.
IKE Institute’s work is guided by the Innovation Council, which brings together senior business leaders representing different economic sectors.
