Drivers for and barriers to physics innovation

To find out more about companies that use physics innovation in their work, the IOP commissioned CBI Economics to undertake a survey of physics-based businesses. Here we outline the key findings and you can download the final reports.


To discover more about companies that use physics innovation in their work, the IOP commissioned CBI Economics to undertake a survey of physics-based businesses (October 2021).

Innovation is central to the biggest challenges that our economy and society are facing, from climate change to recovering from the global pandemic, and to creating a robust and agile economy that works for everyone and is fit for future generations.

To grow innovation, we first need to understand the current landscape – the amount and type of physics-related innovation taking place, the challenges experienced by businesses, and where the opportunities lie to increase innovation activity and investment.

To do this, the IOP commissioned CBI Economics to undertake a survey of physics-based businesses across the UK and Ireland. Their report, Paradigm Shift, explores the drivers and barriers faced by businesses undertaking innovation.
