There is huge potential to improve government by securely linking and analysing data held across many different parts of it. We need robust political leadership to make this the rule, not the exception, writes our Chair Sir Robert Chote⬇️ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

We need to make data sharing across UK government the rule, not the exception

By linking, analysing and communicating statistics, state departments can unlock their power for the public good

Great to be quoted by @TheEconomist in a piece that highlights @NovaSBE ability to attract international students/faculty, while fostering Portugal's progress in attracting and integrating skilled talent: "Portugal is something of a model in this respect." economist.com/briefing/2024/…

Talent is scarce. Yet many countries spurn it

There is growing competition for the best and the brightest migrants

Another great hope of the UK's tech industry falls into foreign ownership. Not sure what to think of this - clearly Graphcore needs backers with deep pockets to realise its potential, but what stops UK capital markets playing that role? Ownership = control, and that matters.
