OpenUK: The UK’s Open Technology Gateway
summary
OpenUK claims a UK-wide industry advocacy model uniting the “3 Opens” and already ships concrete outputs: a kids course of 10 animated lessons narrated by Imogen Heap, a summer camp and a giveaway of 3,000 mini moo glove kits, an apprenticeship and GCSE pathway targeted for 2022, and an awards program that attracted 84 entries. Legal work includes advising trade negotiators and promoting Open Invention Network membership (3,200+ licensees, ~2.5M patents in the pool). Funding mixes corporate sponsors and a paid Supporter model.
