We were delighted to join the Lord Mayor of London and Michelle Donelan, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, this week to discuss the UK government’s commitment to make the UK a “science and technology superpower”. £370 million of additional funding will be made available to support the UK’s “most exciting growing technologies” with support for funding for innovation.
