Protect and Promote Conference [Brussels]

The UK government’s five national missions set the strategic objectives under which the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) currently operates: i) kickstart economic growth, ii) make Britain a clean energy superpower, iii) take back our streets, iv) break down barriers to opportunity, and v) build an NHS fit for the future.

At DSIT, our purpose is to drive economic growth, improving the performance and productivity of government and empowering citizens. We will achieve our purpose by maximising:

• the impact of government action to support R&D, science and technology on the UK's national and regional growth.
• value for money for the taxpayer by applying AI and digital technologies to transform the citizen's experience of public service by making it more effective, convenient and productive.
• the control people can exercise over their interaction with government by widening and deepening their digital skills, knowledge and trust in technology.
