NEW: UK Digital Strategy

What do politicians and business leaders need to know?

“The UK’s economic future, jobs, wage levels, prosperity, national security, cost of living, productivity, ability to compete globally and our geo-political standing in the world are all reliant on continued and growing success in digital technology.”

Hello,

The Government has released its long-awaited Digital Strategy. Although largely interested in domestic policy and initiatives, themes of geopolitical concern run throughout. China is only name-checked twice, but there are numerous mentions of “authoritarian” and “hostile” states, which should be read as an implicit reference. In today’s short Note, we will be focusing specifically on these themes with concluding comments from experts speaking exclusively to Beijing to Britain.
