The Race to the Top

This Review of the Government’s science and innovation policies was commissioned by Gordon Brown, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, as part of the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review (see Terms of Reference in Annex A). He asked us to look in particular at the role that science and innovation can play in enabling the country to compete against low-wage, emerging economies such as China and India. This we have done enthusiastically because we believe that this is one of the major challenges the UK faces, and in Chapter 1 we have set out the strategy we believe the country should adopt if we are to be a winner in “The race to the top”.
