In a letter to the Prime Minister sent in August 2019, the Council for Science and Technology (CST) explores the factors affecting business uptake of technologies, including;

  • management techniques
  • analytical methods

CST proposes 5 measures to improve the infrastructure of business support for technology diffusion, and ways to address deficiencies in skills and training that limit the UK’s technological capability.
