Select Committee Statement on the First Special Report of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, Flying Blind: Innovation, Growth and the Regions: Government response, HC 271

Committee chair reports findings

The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee is presenting its first special report, 'Flying Blind: Innovation, Growth and the Regions', which examines how innovation and technological development is distributed across different parts of the UK. The government will respond to the committee's findings and recommendations on whether regional disparities in tech growth are being adequately addressed.

This report directly affects government strategy on regional economic development and tech sector growth outside London and the South East. The government's response signals whether it intends to rebalance innovation investment geographically, which will influence funding, business support, and job creation prospects in underinvesting regions.
