As we gear up to the #spendingreview and #AutumnBudget, these new findings have never been more important.

Pubic investment in R&D creates growth.

🆕NCUB analysis reveals that for every £1 spent by the Government on R&D, an additional £3.09 to £4.02 is then spent by businesses investing in UK R&D. This is nearly twice as high as previously thought.
