Before we start.....
Technology is key to the UK’s economic growth, productivity and global competitiveness.
The IT & Telecoms industries contribute a gross value added (GVA) of £75 billion per annum to the UK economy.
An IT & Telecoms worker is nearly twice as productive as the average UK worker, in terms of GVA per head.
If businesses exploited ICT fully, they could create an extra £47 billion GVA over the next 5 to 7 years.
