Innovation Readiness in UK Foundation Industries report
11 March 2021
In a report published today research conducted by UK Research and Innovation found that only 56% of UK businesses across six foundation industry sectors introduced new products and 53% new processes in the last three years, namely metals, paper, chemicals, glass, ceramics and cement companies. UKRI commissioned the Enterprise Research Centre to undertake the research as it believes there is an unrealised potential for innovation in the UK’s foundation industries.
