ABOUT
Our Aims
The Forum exists to identify and discuss the industrial, economic and social benefits of recent technological advances in the UK. We contribute to shaping the Party's science & technology policies, and provide information and research support to Conservative Ministers or Spokesmen for Technology.
Leadership
​
The Forum is led by an Executive Council of MPs, MEPs and industry experts who specialise in areas including fin-tech, cybersecurity, skills, and connectivity. The Council meets on a regular basis to discuss the activities and research findings of members and working group leaders.
