Building the Future of UK Industry

Insights on how Blocks helps businesses across the UK Government's IS-8 priority sectors build intelligent applications with AI-powered development.

What is Blocks?

Blocks is Make More Digital's platform for building intelligent business applications. It's modular, composable technology—pre-built components that snap together to create powerful workflows, AI agents, and data pipelines without the traditional development overhead.

The UK Government's 2025 Modern Industrial Strategy identifies eight high-priority sectors—the "IS-8"—designed to drive economic growth, investment, and productivity. We're building Blocks to help businesses in each of these sectors innovate faster.
