There has been a great deal of discussion about *what* our industrial policy should fund — but far less about *how* to fund it. That needs to change, because the status quo — industrial-policy-by-tax credit — is rife with problems. My latest: americanaffairsjournal.org/2…

There is huge potential to improve government by securely linking and analysing data held across many different parts of it. We need robust political leadership to make this the rule, not the exception, writes our Chair Sir Robert Chote⬇️ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Great to be quoted by @TheEconomist in a piece that highlights @NovaSBE ability to attract international students/faculty, while fostering Portugal's progress in attracting and integrating skilled talent: "Portugal is something of a model in this respect." economist.com/briefing/2024/…

The long term sources of growth are ideas, R&D, technology and its adoption argues @danielsusskind (which implies a rather central role for @SciTechgovuk) on.ft.com/4cZfdKB

Another great hope of the UK's tech industry falls into foreign ownership. Not sure what to think of this - clearly Graphcore needs backers with deep pockets to realise its potential, but what stops UK capital markets playing that role? Ownership = control, and that matters.
