Science & Innovation Network in North America
22 June 2020
Please use the map above to identify the S&I advisor nearest you or for the sector in which you are interested.
A network of full-time science and innovation advisors work out of British overseas Embassies and offices around the world. Seven are in North America. Their purpose is:
- to report on policy developments, strategy and emerging priorities and to facilitate international negotiations
- to promote the UK's science and technology achievements and to report on overseas research and technology developments
- to encourage collaboration, inward investment, and trade and to develop links for the benefit of the UK research community and industry
Working with You
These S&I advisors follow closely what goes on in American science and innovation, and look for areas where the UK and the US can work together. And along with UK Trade & Investment, the S&I teams in the US help British companies form high-tech partnerships and support American films interested in investing in Britain to take advantage of the UK's scientific strengths. In particular, they can:
- Identify key contacts and bring together opinion formers and experts
- Help to arrange missions and visits for specific technology sectors
- Analyze and report on S&I developments in the host country
- Raise awareness of UK S&I policy and achievements
- Develop links for the UK science base
