New technologies are transforming the way we live our lives. But since the 1970s the UK’s industrial policy has struggled to make a lasting impact. This panel will discuss how the UK can mobilise Government, academia and industry to boost productivity, and build a Britain that is fit for the future; one that is a scientific industrial powerhouse.
