<p>The Integrated Review reflects that we need to adapt to a more competitive world.
We are implementing a robust framework for our relationship with China which allows
us to manage disagreements, defend our values while preserving space to tackle transnational
challenges such as climate change. Our approach will remain consistent even if difficulties
emerge."</p><p>The Integrated Review articulates the UK’s goal to extend the
impact and influence of the UK’s ‘Science and Technology Power’ by 2030, and the need
to secure and develop critical and emerging technologies where there is a realistic
prospect of delivering strategic advantage. A new ‘own-collaborate-access’ framework,
will guide our approach:</p><ul><li><p>Own: where the UK plays a leading and owning
role, end-to-end from discovery to commercialisation. This will always involve elements
of collaboration and access.</p></li><li><p>Collaborate: where the UK is not able
to establish a dominant position, but can provide unique contributions that allow
us to collaborate with others to achieve our goals.</p></li><li><p>Access: where the
UK will seek to acquire critical science and technology from others, through options,
deals and relationships.</p></li></ul><p>To this end the Prime Minister has recently
announced he will chair a new National Science and Technology Council, and the creation
of a National Technology Advisor role, initially held by Sir Patrick Vallance to support
the new committee and provide leadership.</p><p> </p>
