Emerging Technologies
The purpose of the Technology Strategy Board’s focus on emerging technologies is three-fold:
Providing the opportunity for businesses to take advantage at an early stage of some of the exciting research that is taking place in the science base.
- To identify research at an early stage which shows real commercial potential
- To raise awareness of the research with businesses in the UK which have the capability to take advantage of it
- Through Government support, to help remove the risks of early stage investigation
Three initial emerging technology areas have been selected for investigation:
- nanomedicine
- quantum information processing
- smart and adaptive optics
