On global megatrends (e.g. digitalisation, decarbonisation, demographics, new modes of transport), how can we measure and monitor the impacts of new technologies and emerging industries? How can we identify persistent under-adoption of technologies?

Background

BEIS plans to boost productivity and improve lives by tackling society’s Grand Challenges in life sciences, artificial intelligence, automation and space. By investing in R&D and innovation, we will unleash potential and work towards making the UK a science superpower. To do this, BEIS needs research to better understand:
