<p>Since 2016, the government has committed an additional £7 billion from the National
Productivity Investment Fund for research and development by 2021/22 – the largest
increase for 40 years. Autumn Budget 2018 also provided £60m (see scorecard table
2.1) in support of nuclear fusion, quantum technologies and University Enterprise
Zones. This additional funding, together with existing record increases to public
R&D spending, meant that government was able to detail plans for allocating over
£1.6 billion of investments in innovation and support for key technologies which will
drive economic growth across the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Spending breakdowns are available
