Theme(s)

Economic growth and prosperity

In the 2017 Industrial Strategy White Paper, the UK Government set an ambition for the UK to increase its total R&D expenditure to 2.4% of GDP by 2027. Whilst expenditure on R&D has increased, as a percentage of GDP, the UK’s R&D expenditure still sat at 1.7% in 2018.

Hear from our panel, including Dame Ottoline Leyser, Chief Executive at UKRI to learn about the challenges and opportunities within R&D across the sectors.

Join us online to:

  • Understand how the Plan for Growth broadly supports R&D in UK
  • Learn more about UKRI's role in supporting R&D
  • Discuss how the sectors can work together to increase focus on R&D
  • Find out more about the challenges and opportunities within R&D
