At IMD Corporate, we are committed to helping international businesses succeed in the UK, and one route to UK business success is through the innovator visa. The innovator route is for experienced business persons seeking to establish a business in the UK. If you are an entrepreneur with an innovative, viable and scalable business idea, the innovator visa, under the UK points-based immigration system, may be your best means of global mobility and achieving your business goals in the UK.
