UK Science and Technology Framework
The motivation behind the science and technology superpower agenda is simple: science and technology will be the major driver of prosperity, power and history-making events this century.
The United Kingdom’s future success as a rich, strong, influential country, whose citizens enjoy prosperity and security, and fulfilled, healthy and sustainable lives, will correspondingly depend on our ability to build on our existing strengths in science, technology, finance and innovation.
The Science and Technology Framework is the strategic anchor that government policy will deliver against, and which the government will hold itself accountable to.
The framework focuses on:
- identifying critical technologies
- signalling the UK’s strengths and ambitions
- investment in R&D
- talent and skills
- financing innovative science and technology companies
- procurement
- international opportunities
- access to physical and digital infrastructure
- regulation and standards
- innovative public sector
