Innovate UK and ESRC will invest up to £8m in five projects to develop responsible data access methods in the professional and financial services sectors.

Five projects have been awarded funding by Innovate UK and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) through the Professional and Financial Services Data Access ESG Demonstrators competition.
The funding is designed to support the adoption of responsible artificial intelligence (AI) and data technologies in:
professional service sector (including legal and accountancy)
financial service sector (including insurance, lending, advisory and payment and transaction systems)
This support will enable better access to data.
The projects are wide-ranging and touch on areas from catastrophe management to legal data and AI.
