FIVengage is the go-to network that's bringing people together to break down the regulatory challenges faced by the UK Foundation Industries.

Since its launch in 2024 as a Regulatory Science and Innovation Network we've held workshops, conversations and networking events to gather evidence on the regulatory barriers facing sustainable materials innovators and solutions to help them scale-up on their commercialisation journeys.

The learning from this network so far can be seen HERE which we'll use to identify interventions and use as evidence to influence future policy and regulatory frameworks.

By uniting innovators, start-ups, industry, investors, and universities we're accelerating innovation and decarbonisation pathways through three pillars.

Collaboration

We're working with our partners to develop research to deliver regulatory science that will accelerate innovation across the UK Foundation Industries.

Education

Through FIVengage we're identifying the training required to up-skill the innovation value chain and deliver targeted training as a valued education partner.

Communication

We aim to become a trusted network to influence policy through the publication and promotion of research and innovator-informed evidence.

We're funded by Innovate UK's Science and Innovation Network: Discovery Phase competition, in partnership with the Foundation Industries Sustainability Consortium, the Transforming the Foundation Industries Network and TransFIRe.
