Recommendation
The Government should encourage the development of specialist investor capability in science and tech across the UK, particularly in strategic deep tech sectors such as quantum. It should support the development of regional investor and investment readiness training programmes, expand partnerships between technical experts and investment networks, and reduce business rates on lab space for early- stage companies. It should create investor envoys for key deep tech sectors, modelled on the existing trade envoys, to liaise between stakeholders and the Government. (Recommendation, Paragraph 93) 47
