Description
The UK Dynamism Fund (UKDF) supports people and organisations working towards national renewal, with an emphasis on excellence, speed and growth. Led by Andrew Bennett, anchor funded by XTX Markets and incubated by Renaissance Philanthropy, it offers fellowships to develop new projects and grants for work ready to be built.
Its initial priorities are talent programmes that strengthen agency and ambition; science and technology that expand what is possible and build the UK’s stake in the AI economy; institutions and policies that improve government, the wider state and the economy; and aesthetics, culture and media that advance ambition, beauty and collective purpose. UKDF welcomes both new institutions that challenge the status quo and efforts to help existing institutions adapt.
