I am pleased to share with you this report that shows if we take action now to focus on ‘scale-ups’, we will secure significant growth in jobs, taxes and wealth, and the
competitive advantage of Britain for generations to come.
This report explains how a boost of just one per cent to our scale-up population should drive an additional 238,000 jobs and £38 billion to GVA within three years. In the
medium-term, assuming we address the skills-gap, we stand to benefit by £96 billion per annum and in the long-run, if we close the scale-up gap, then we stand to gain 150,000
net jobs and £225 billion additional GVA by 2034. This report sets out a clear plan of action to close the scale-up gap. The plan centres on using data already collected
by government to provide a platform that enables both public and private sector organisations to work together to improve the community of which they are a part.
Britain is a GREA T place to start a business.
With the supportive government policies, industry structure, geographic placement and talent supply we enjoy in the UK , we are in the position to create unrivalled national
competitive advantage by increasing the proportion of companies that ‘scale-up’.
A ‘scale-up’ is an enterprise with average annualised growth in employees or turnover greater than 20 per cent per annum over a three year period, and with more than 10 employees at the beginning of the observation period.
This competitive advantage will be rewarded by economic growth per capita. The responsibility to become ‘a scale-up nation’ – to create an environment (ecosystem) where a greater number of companies reach global scale – rests with all of us who have an interest in supporting economic growth. Rather than look only to the US for inspiration, this report examines successful collaborations between business and government that have taken place over the past 20 years in 20 other countries and recommends actions that we can take now. Individually and collectively, businesses, educators and policymakers can co-create a future that is bright for our children and their children: a place where both scale-ups and start-ups flourish, with plenty of jobs and growing GVA per capita.

Future of Work
The future of work is increasingly uncertain. What is clear is that we are in the midst of a major transformation driven by multiple drivers of change. How individuals, companies, cities and governments respond to the upcoming shifts will be pivotal for future economic and social wellbeing, but this is far from straightforward. Some major decisions lie ahead.
Ahead of speeches in London, Kuala Lumpur and several subsequent expert discussions, this is a point of view on how, where and why the future of work is in flux.
It explores three key drivers of change as leaders around the world view it – shifting demographics, technology innovation and the organisational response. In addition, we have highlighted several areas where new policy decisions need to be made.

Leitch Review of Skills - Final Report - 'Prosperity for all in the global ec...The Pathway Group
Leitch Review of Skills - Final Report - 'Prosperity for all in the global economy - world class skills' talks about the
The Leitch Review was tasked in 2004 to consider the UK’s long-term skills needs. The UK is building on economic strength and stability, with 14 years of unbroken growth and the highest employment rate in the G7. Its skills base has improved significantly over the last decade with rising school standards and growth in graduate numbers. Despite this, the UK’s skills base remains weak by international standards, holding back productivity,
growth and social justice. The Review has found that, even if current targets to improve skills are met, the UK’s skills base will still lag behind that of many comparator countries
in 2020. The UK will run to stand still.
The global economy is changing rapidly, with emerging economies such as India and China growing dramatically, altering UK competitiveness. The population is ageing, technological change and global migration flows are increasing. There is a direct correlation between
skills, productivity and employment. Unless the UK can build on reforms to schools, colleges and universities and make its skills base one of its strengths, UK businesses will find it increasingly difficult to compete. As a result of low skills, the UK risks increasing inequality, deprivation and child poverty, and risks a generation cut off permanently from labour market opportunity. The best form of welfare is to ensure that people can adapt to change. Skills were once a key lever for prosperity and fairness. Skills are now increasingly the key lever. A radical step-change is necessary. The Review recommends that the UK commit to becoming a world leader in skills by 2020, benchmarked against the upper quartile of the
OECD.
There is a lot of criteria to be met if the report is to be successful in its recommendations however it sets a compelling case for further education and training improvements.
Our predicament is to figure out by looking at the state of our youth, "what promise does our nation holds for the future?"
Investing in skill development makes perfect economic sense; according to a report by UNESCO, "$1 invested in youth skills can pay back after fifteen-fold in economic growth."

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
