Three Big Ideas is our fortnightly roundup of ideas (and our takes on them) in entrepreneurship, innovation, science and technology, handpicked by the team.
This week, Eamonn Ives discusses new research that suggests the pace at which novel technologies diffuse into the economy is accelerating, Mann Virdee ponders whether we should copy the Chinese when training new engineers, and Jessie May Green takes stock of Britain’s approach to critical minerals.
