The Government is about to receive up to £4bn from the upcoming 4G spectrum auction. We need your help in arguing that the money, which is a return on past generations’ investment in science and technology, should be reinvested in helping the UK become a growing, high-tech economy.
It’s absolutely true without investment in people like Marconi and Berners-Lee we wouldn’t have the technologies we take for granted today… CaSE and Nesta’s report is an important and illuminating contribution to the debate on industrial strategy. (Michael Heseltine)
you only need to look at the proposals coming out of NESTA and CaSE to show that there is no lack of opportunities. (Vince Cable)
Please sign the petition - with enough signatures, MPs will be forced to debate our calls.
