Technology & innovation
The technologies that will drive the next wave of global growth are being shaped now, and the countries that move fastest from research to adoption will capture a disproportionate share of the economic returns. The purpose of this theme is to examine how the UK seizes that opportunity: by developing technology, deploying it, investing in it, and building the cross-sector conditions that turn scientific advantage into sustained economic growth.
The programme focuses on adoption, transformation and innovation: how are organisations across the public, private, and voluntary sectors integrating new technologies into how they work, and what the barriers are to doing so at scale. It also examines the UK's position as a destination for technology investment, and what government, industry, and civil society need to do together to make the case internationally.
-
Accelerating adoption and transformation across sectors: moving beyond pilots to transformation at scale, and examining what leadership, procurement, and culture change that requires, and what are the biggest barriers to tech adoption.
-
Positioning the UK as an attractive destination for technology investment: identifying what regulatory, financial, and infrastructure conditions need to be in place, and who is responsible for delivering them.
-
Realising the economic growth potential of frontier technologies by closing the gap between research excellence and commercial application, with government, universities, and industry sharing both the risk and the return.
-
Navigating the regulation of emerging technologies: ensuring the right safeguards are in place to build public trust while preserving the conditions for continued innovation.
