This pamphlet sets out eight great technologies where we can do exactly that:

• the big data revolution and energy-efficient computing
• satellites and commercial applications of space
• robotics and autonomous systems
• life sciences, genomics and synthetic biology
• regenerative medicine
• agri-science
• advanced materials and nano-technology
• energy and its storage

The UK’s strong public support for research, the improving macroeconomic environment and a new impetus for converting discoveries into commercial opportunities provide good grounds for optimism. We can be the best place in the world to do science.
