摘要

The independent UK Engineering and Technology Board has called on the government to back emerging technologies through a restructuring of procurement and taxation.In order to maximise the impact of technologies - including advanced materials, electronics, photonics, electrical systems, bio-sciences, nanotechnology, high value manufacturing and ICT - the ETB say there should be broader parameters in government procurement, and changes to the tax system to incentivise investment in technology.
