Business community urged to put forward views on government strategy for technology
London -- The business community has been urged to put forward its views on government's key medium term strategies for technology. Chairman of the Technology Strategy Board Graham Spittle told an audience at the Barbican in London that input from the wider business community was vital in helping to shape key technology areas.
The strategies have been developed in consultation with business and set out in a new TSB publication “Developing UK Capability”. They highlight the key technology priorities to enable the development of the UK's position in: advanced materials; bioscience and healthcare; design engineering and advanced manufacturing; electronics and photonics; information and communication technologies; sustainable production and consumption.
Spittle said consultations had already been held with over 600 businesses, but feedback from the wider business community will help to ensure that, “we are setting the right direction for the future to enable the UK to become a global leader in innovation”.
