NCUB’s ‘Attracting International Investment in R&D’ project is intended to improve understanding of the factors that attract international investment into R&D in the UK.

NCUB commissioned advisory firm OCO Global to undertake analysis of the performance of the UK’s nations and regions in those factors that attract international investment into R&D and to explore the impact of company decision-making processes upon the location of investment in R&D.

The purpose of this commission is to:

  • Better understand how the different UK locations/nations perform and compare across key factors influencing R&D FDI
  • Detail current levels of R&D FDI by UK locations/nations
  • Identify global comparator locations and detail best practices/ key learnings for developing regional R&D capacity and attracting FDI
