Adopting Progress: Understanding the drivers of advanced technology adoption among UK SMEs

Solutions

We don’t just generate ideas, but also solutions.

Our approach and strategic, cross-sector network linking universities, business and government is unlike any other. We bring our members together to leverage the skills and talent fostered by our universities and to strengthen further the UK’s world-class research and development.

Business adoption of advanced technology is at the heart of the UK Government’s
productivity and growth agenda. The Industrial Strategy, the centrepiece of current
economic policy, sets out an ambition to boost firm-level innovation and technological
diffusion, proposing instruments such as an AI Adoption Fund and expanded public
intervention to encourage business uptake of emerging technologies.
