Conclusion
While the own–collaborate–access framework provides a useful foundation for prioritising the UK’s approach to critical technologies, it is currently applied at too high a level to guide effective decision-making. Holding an ambition for an entire technology to be in the “own” category, as the government currently does in relation to quantum, may not be feasible. (Conclusion, Paragraph 63)
