UK innovation diffusion and adoption survey

The Department of Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is running a survey of UK businesses. Help us understand how we can support innovation in businesses and shape future policies.

DSIT, in collaboration with PA Consulting, is running a survey of businesses to better understand how UK businesses use and distribute ‘innovative new technologies or processes’.

The survey will measure levels of technology diffusion and adoption across the UK (covering AI, quantum, and more). It aims to understand the barriers businesses face when selling and/or using different technologies.

The results of the survey will help to:

  • further support innovation in UK businesses
  • improve spending decisions
  • shape future policies in this area

See our privacy notice on how we will use your data.

The survey

You can take the survey if you are a UK business. It takes 10 minutes to complete and will ask about:

  • your business
  • innovations you’ve adopted and how
  • any barriers you’ve faced when selling and/or using different technologies
