Aston University Calls on Government to Create UK Standards Participation Fund to Protect SME Influence Over Global Tech Rules
New research reveals UK small businesses are losing ground to US and Chinese rivals in shaping the international standards that will govern AI, semiconductors, 5G, and 6G
The UK must strengthen its role in shaping the global standards that underpins technologies like AI, semiconductors and internet infrastructure if it is to convert scientific strength into industrial leadership, says new research led by Aston Business School. The report called Harnessing Global Standards for Technological Leadership: A Comparative Study of the UK and Other Leading Nations, was led by Professor Cher Li of Aston Business School. She worked in collaboration with Dr Xin Deng at Alliance Manchester Business School and Dr John Moffat at Durham University Business School. Supported b
