Inquiry

Does the UK do enough to champion science and tech start-ups and scale-ups?

The Committee aims to map out the landscape for the UK’s innovators, to give them a platform to tell their stories, and to identify what more the government and industry should do to support them. 

The cross-party Committee will hear from innovative companies and researchers through weekly “showcase sessions”, which will take place before its main evidence session each week. 

During this slot, showcase speakers will give a 5 short presentation, covering their stories and their views on the wider operating environment, and whether they need more support from the Government and industry. 

The Committee will use their stories to explore the UK innovation landscape, including the regulatory framework and the investment and funding ecosystem; and to identify what the Government could do to improve it.
