  Technology Strategy

 

 

 

 

 

Introduction

Innovation works best when there is a strong market demand and the Technology Strategy will be focused on this agenda.  An appointed Technology Strategy Board formed mainly of senior business representatives will continue to develop the strategy and identify technology priorities critical to the growth of the UK economy.  They ensure that the technology priorities within the Technology Programme are market-focussed and advise on the broad allocation of resources to them.  The Board acts as a high level forum for interaction between business, government and other stakeholders.

The results of the Board's input to the Technology Strategy will shape further Competitions for funding under the Technology Programme.
 

Technology Strategy Board Annual Report

In the 10 year Science and Innovation framework the TSB was charged with producing an annual report on its own activities and support for innovation across government, including, for example, co-ordination with the Research Councils, RDAs and DAs, and OGDs. Further details are given in the terms of reference for the Board.

The first Annual Report of the Technology Strategy Board (published 24 November 2005) provides information on the work of the Board over the past year and plans for future activities, including development of the Technology Strategy.

The Board have also published 'A call to action' - a short document designed to engage business and other partners in developing the Strategy.
