Our focus is on advancing understanding of the sectoral context for innovation and competitiveness in the UK. One of CSEP’s activities is to review the state-of-play and potential ways forward for different key sectors, focusing on their gross value added and how this compares internationally, the emerging technological and market opportunities, and policy and other recommendations for government and industry.

So far, we have published these ‘Sectoral Systems of Innovation and the UK’s Competitiveness’ reports on the Telecommunications, Biopharma and Medical Devices, Automotive, Fine Chemicals, Aerospace, Cyber Security sectors, among others. 

 

Some of these reviews lead to sector strategies. We have published strategies for the UK’s HealthTech and Downstream Chemicals sectors, with further strategies in development.

 

Sector reviews can also lead to deep dives into a sector topic that requires more detailed research. For example, we are currently engaged in a study of R&D productivity in the UK’s Biopharma sector.

 

We welcome feedback from stakeholders on each of these reports. If you have any comments, please contact us at csepinfo@imperial.ac.uk.
