In 2001 the UK government announced new funding for an initiative known as e-Science. This Initiative was challenged with developing a new way of collaborative research using grid as the information utility. The Initiative was structured to provide funding to support a national grid infrastructure, tackle large scale scientific research problems and to engage in projects with industry. This paper considers the impact of e-Science in the UK and, in particular, in the finance and life sciences sectors.
