We already have comfortably more tech unicorns than any other European country – more than France, and Germany combined – and in 2021 a new UK unicorn was minted every 11 and a half days, based on data from company tracking business Dealroom. UK universities lead the world in fundamental and applied science. Critical building blocks of the digital economy, from super-fast internet access across the UK to cyber security capabilities are already in place or being built. That is why the UK must strengthen its position as a Global Science and Tech Superpower - and why the government is taking steps to achieve it.
The UK’s economic future, jobs, wage levels, prosperity, national security, cost of living, productivity, ability to compete globally and our geo-political standing in the world are all reliant on continued and growing success in digital technology. Following an MFA analysis, key industry- or sector-focused paths the country can take to become more circular are presented.Digital technology has transformed our lives and will continue to do so. By measuring circularity in this way, national and local governments can track their circular performance over time and put trends into context, as well as guide future action. We have adapted our method of measuring global circularity in the Circularity Gap Report to fit national and regional economies. It will also help countries meet emissions targets and avoid deforestation. On the national level, a circular economy allows for more competitive economies with improved living conditions for growing populations.
As lead investors in infrastructure, government buildings and assets, their procurement strategy can kick-start circularity at scale.
They have the mandate to develop national legislation, can create an enabling environment and incentives to drive the transition, and are the leading actors in supranational and multilateral coordination.
Countries are leading change agents for the circular transition.
