The Science and Technology (S&T) Framework provides a holistic set of 10 critical levers that government can use to embed a full range of considerations into decision-making:

  • Developing and deploying critical technologies
  • Signalling UK strengths and ambitions
  • Investment in research and development
  • Talent and skills
  • Financing innovative science and technology companies
  • Procurement
  • International opportunities
  • Research and innovation infrastructure (physical and digital)
  • Regulation and standards
  • Innovative public sector

The government is committed to applying these levers to ensure that S&T is at the centre of delivering our core priorities including the National Missions and Plan for Change and the Industrial Strategy.
