Recommendation 2

The UK’s global technology leadership ambitions should be Government-led but will need to pull in significant support from the private sector as well as academia. There is an opportunity for the FCDO to exemplify the values articulated in the Integrated Review by leading on collaboration with the private sector and civil society, both in the UK and overseas, in the pursuit of its objectives. This should include working to ensure that the voices of smaller companies and less economically developed countries are heard in global fora. There is an opportunity for the Government to influence global best practice by sharing knowledge of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and drawing upon the expertise of our world-class institutes.
