British Ambassador to the United States Sir Nigel Sheinwald blogs about UK-US collaborations in education and science that are producing groundbreaking work to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges.
Innovators and entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of a growing economy. In the UK, we are doing all we can to help them get good ideas into the market. We already have the lowest corporate tax rate in the G7. According to the OECD, an entrepreneur in the UK can set up his business in less than two weeks; in the rest of Europe, it takes more than a month. Continuing and improving the ties of science, education and innovation between the US and UK will produce more of the innovation that ensures our continued prosperity.
