This year’s Autumn Budget arrived against a backdrop of rapid policy change. The National Centre for Universities and Business (NCUB) unpacked what the government’s latest announcements mean for research, innovation, skills, and talent.

Budget statements often come with strong communications, but the real insights lie in where resources are directed. This webinar went beyond the headlines to assess how government thinking is evolving and what it means for collaboration between universities and business.

Hosted by Joe Marshall, with contributions from Graeme Reid, Shaun Holmes, and Diane Beech, the session featured a focused presentation of key figures, guided discussion, and audience Q&A. Together, we explored the implications of the government’s decisions across multiple angles, helping universities, businesses, and policymakers understand priorities and opportunities in the months ahead.
