  1. Dr Michael Short CBE DIT Chief Scientific Adviser Email: csa@trade.gov.uk 5G in the United Kingdom

  2. DIT Chief Scientific Adviser TheChief Scientific Adviser and team offer science and engineering advice to teams across DIT, use their knowledge and connections to help join industry and policy makers, support shorter-term trade missions, events and meetings at post and lead the Government Science and Engineering Profession for DIT.

  3. Prime Minister’s Science Speech – May 2018 “UK global leadership in science and innovation is one of this country’s greatest assets” “Ensure that the we have an education system that gives young people the skills they need to contribute to the economy of the future” “Science is an international enterprise and discoveries know no boundaries….Today over half of the UK’s resident research population were born overseas… When we leave the EU I will ensure that does not change.” “The Britain we build…must be one in which scientific collaboration and free exchange of ideas is increased and extended, both between the UK and the EU and with partners around the world” “Our R&D Target covers the combined power of government and business alike” Source: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-speech-on-science-and-modern-industrial-strategy-21-may-2018

  6. Industrial Strategy The Industrial Strategy White Paper was published on 27 November 2017, the culmination of extensive consultation across the country. It set out a clear ambition: to increase productivity and earning power across the UK Sector Deals: Partnerships between the government and industry on sector-specific issues Life Sciences Sector Deal Automotive Sector Deal Creative Industries Sector Deal Artificial Intelligence Sector Deal Source: https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/the-uks-industrial-strategy

  7. The Grand Challenges – making the UK world-leading in the industries of the future AI and Data Driven Economy Ageing Society We will harness the power of Innovation to meet the needs of an ageing society 1 in 3 people born today will live to 100 and around 70% of wealth is held by those over 55, creating a $15trillion global market by 2020. We have the chance to lead the world in technologies, products and services demanded by an ageing population. We will put the UK at the forefront of the AI & Data Revolution Strong leadership to drive the embedding of AI across the UK will create thousands of good quality jobs and drive economic growth – potentially contributing an estimated £232bn to the UK economy by 2030. The Future of Mobility Clean Growth We will become a world leader in shaping the future of Mobility The profound change in how we move people, goods and services has the potential to dramatically reduce pollutants and congestion; in 2035, the global market size is estimated at £907 billion from connected autonomous vehicle sales alone. We will maximise the advantages for UK Industry from the global shift to clean growth Globally by 2040, over 85% of projected $10trn invested in power generation estimated to be in zero-carbon sources. Electric vehicles are projected to make up over half of global car sales by 2040. Pioneering low carbon technologies, systems and services could see the UK grow its clean economy at four times the rate of GDP between now and 2030.
