<p>As part of the Government’s commitment to increase overall investment in R&D
to 2.4% of GDP by 2027, we are supporting capacity building in a number of ways.</p><p>
</p><p>For example, we are building research talent, increasing investment in early
career researchers through a £900 million Future Leaders Fellowship programme. In
addition, we are boosting capacity in artificial intelligence through new AI Masters
and AI Centres for Doctoral Training, delivering 1,000 additional PhDs in AI and Turing
AI Fellows.</p><p> </p><p>We are also boosting capacity in specific places across
the UK, building on R&D strengths through our Strength in Places Fund. Twenty-four
ambitious projects from pharmaceuticals to aerospace, and transport to the creative
economy, are to receive early-stage funding to develop full-stage bids that could
lead to significant economic growth in places across the country. For example, Artemis
Technologies is leading a bid to build a facility in Belfast Harbour that will focus
on the decarbonisation of maritime transportation.</p>
