According to a written answer from David Lammy, MP and Minister of State (Higher Education and Intellectual Property), in response to a question from Philip Davies MP (who appears to be wanting to demonstrate his interest in the business of video games:

During the financial year 2008-09 the Technology Strategy Board offered grant funding of £117.1 million to new projects involving UK businesses. Of this, £577,000 went to projects involving UK video games businesses.

Anyone any idea who got the money?

    In Sept 2008: “Nottingham-based Monumental Games has won nearly £300,000 of funding from the Technology Strategy Board as part of a project to revolutionise the Monumental Technology Suite, the Massively-Multiplayer Engine that now has over 40 licensees worldwide. [...] Academic Partner Staffordshire University will join Monumental in the requisite research”

    The Suite was offered “fee-free” from Oct 2007 onwards, which possibly explains some of the popularity?

    A year later, October 2008 it was reported that: “The Technology Strategy Board has awarded almost 600,000 pounds of funding towards a 1.3 million pound artificial intelligence project of which Emote Games is the lead partner.” Emote is the co-developer of the excellent hunting game TheHunter.
