The Key Contacts Building UK Capabilities
OST - The Office of Science and Technology
Through the Office of Science and Technology, we are working
to maintain the excellence of SET in the UK and improve public
understanding of its contribution: to develop publicly-funded
SET to meet the country's future needs, taking account of
Technology Foresight and the needs of industry and other users
while improving efficiency and value for money; to foster
partnership between the science and engineering base, industry
and Government to exploit the potential of SET; to maximise
the effectiveness of our European Union and international
collaboration in meeting UK objectives; and to promote
collaboration between Government Departments and ensure that
transdepartmental SET issues are handled effectively.

Business and Innovation
In DTI's dealings with business, we aim to stimulate
innovation and encourage best practice in quality, design and
management, and to help companies, particularly small and
medium-sized ones, access and exploit new technology,
including the application of information technology and
multimedia communications. DTI also supports technology
development and standardisation. This work is carried out via
specific innovation programmes and technology transfer
activities both at home and abroad (see key contacts in this
chapter), on a sectoral basis (see Sector by Sector) and
through Business Links or Government Offices of contact on
most schemes.

Business and the Environment
The environment is an important business issue. DTI encourages
business to respond to the opportunities offered by the
increasing interest of consumers and other stakeholders in
environmental performance. DTI works with the Department of
the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to provide
guidance on best practice through the Envirowise Programme.
The Programme runs a freephone Environmental Helpline (0800
585 794) which can help businesses on most environmental
problems. The two Departments also sponsor the environmental
technology and services industry. DTI also sponsors the waste
management industry. We can provide advice on a range of
specific environmental issues which are important to the
competitiveness of UK business. (See also Energy for key
contacts on new and renewable energy.)

Central Directorate
The Central Directorate support the Secretary of State in
achieving the aims he has set for the Department. It is
comprised of three Units: the Competitiveness Unit, the Future
Unit and the Enterprise Unit.
The work of the Competitiveness Unit includes:
developing and pursuing strategies to achieve DTI's aims as
a whole (inlcuding a Business Support Strategy);
maintaining a network of strategic contacts with business
and opinion formers and spreading knowledge and
understanding of the UK's competitiveness position;
analysing the factors which determine UK competitiveness in
comparison with other countries;
working with other Government Departments and public
agencies to enhance their contributions to competitiveness.
The work of the Future Unit includes:
developing a better understanding of how industries and
markets of the future may develop and affect DTI policies
and activities and how we can assist such industries to
grow;
providing a positive environment for the development of new
ideas and a strategic approach which can inform future
decision in Dti (e.g. on the impact of the information age
and environmental regulation on SMEs);
helping promote a strong UK economy for the future taking
full advantage of new opportunities arising from advances in
science and technology.
The work of the Enterprise Unit includes:
working with Directorates across the Department of Trade and
Industry on a wide range of enterprise issues including the
promotion of an enterprise culture and reduced compliance
costs.
The Enterprise Unit home page can be found here
Small Firms
DTI supports the growth of small and medium-sized businesses
and has initiated a number of measures and programmes to help
them. In order to meet business needs more effectively, DTI
business support is increasingly channelled through local
Business Links. For further information, you should contact
your local Business Link, on 0845 7567 765. Each Business Link
is a partnership bringing together all key local business
support providers (Chambers of Commerce, Training and
Enterprise Councils, local authorities and enterprise
agencies).
DTI regional policies help the English regions to improve
their competitiveness. Regional Selective Assistance supports
investment projects in Assisted Areas, including major inward
investment projects. The European Structural Funds support a
variety of projects including economic infrastructure and
diversification. Regional policies are delivered primarily
through the Government Offices for the English regions, and
through the Welsh Office, the Scottish Office and the Northern
Ireland Department of Economic Development.
