CaSE Representation to Spending Review 2025
26 Feb 2025
In this submission we set out the views and policy recommendations of CaSE on increasing public investment in R&D, supporting regional economic growth, and ensuring the sustainability of the R&D system. These have been developed through extensive consultation with our members who span the whole breadth of the R&D sector across all nations and regions of the UK.
In this submission CaSE calls on the UK Government to:
Commit to ambitious, long-term, and sustainable investment in R&D to ensure that the UK is a leader within the G7 on R&D investment
Drive regional capacity building to further strengthen local and regional innovation ecosystems and support the regional diffusion of innovation
Support UK universities to achieve long-term financial sustainability
Ensure a more competitive immigration policy that attracts international R&D talent
