In
order to increase productivity and remain
competitive in the global economy, businesses
need to invest in R&D; in the UK much
of this activity is funded through foreign
investment. The UK's lead position in
R&D is reflected in the 345 inward
investment projects reported as containing
an R&D element in 2014/15, an 11%
increase on 2013/14.
The UK
Government has promoted and secured 34
R&D collaboration and partnerships
between UK-based research centers or organisations
and foreign investors. These collaborations
are often a precursor to major FDI investment,
paving the way for long-term relationships
