Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps the Government is taking to prevent a brain-drain of UK young tech talent moving to find employment outside the UK.


This question was answered on 17th October 2016

The UK has a strong history in science, research and innovation, with an eco-system that fosters talent by providing opportunity in both industry and academia.

We are committed to ensuring that Britain is the best place in Europe to innovate, patent new ideas and start a business, including tech businesses. Our academic base holds 16% of the world’s most highly cited papers, generated from only 1% of the world population. Innovate UK provides support to innovative businesses to help them develop ideas and recruit and retain tech talent.
