Department for Business Innovation & Skills

The Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) is the department for economic growth. The department invests in skills and education to promote trade, boost innovation and help people to start and grow a business. BIS also protects consumers and reduces the impact of regulation.

 

We are responsible for:

  • working with further and higher education providers to give students the skills they need to compete in a global employment market
  • supporting innovation and developing the UK’s science and research industry, which is important to help economic growth
  • making sure consumer law is fair for both consumers and businesses, and that consumers know their rights and are able to use them effectively
  • supporting British businesses to increase productivity and compete anywhere in the world
  • better regulation - by cutting the amount of regulation and making it easy to understand we can help businesses cut time, save money and be more efficient.
