Lords報告說

Lords Communications and Digital Commitse的一份新報告說，政府需要採取緊急行動，以促進創新的英國公司，包括AI和創意技術初創公司，並支持他們擴大規模。

The government must take urgent action to help innovative UK companies, including AI and creative technology start-ups, scale up their businesses, a new report has warned.

一份新報告警告說，政府必須採取緊急行動來幫助創新的英國公司，包括AI和創意技術初創公司，擴大其業務。

The Prime Minister has previously said he wanted the UK and London to be the “best place in the world to start and scale an AI business”, but the Lords committee warned that companies are facing significant barriers preventing them from scaling up.

總理此前曾表示，他希望英國和倫敦成為“世界上開始和擴展AI業務的最佳地點”，但上議院委員會警告說，公司面臨重大障礙，阻止他們擴大規模。

These include limited access to capital compared to other countries, challenges in recruiting tech talent that is in high demand and a business and investment culture that can be too risk averse, the report said.

報告說，這些挑戰包括與其他國家相比，與其他國家相比，招募高需求的技術人才的挑戰以及一種可能過於冒險的商業和投資文化的挑戰。

The report, published on Monday, said: “The consequences of failure are significant.

該報告於週一發表，他說：“失敗的後果很大。

“The UK risks being an ‘incubator economy’ for other nations, as innovative British technology firms pursue greater growth potential in other markets or seek acquisition by foreign companies.

“英國有可能成為其他國家的'孵化器經濟'，因為創新的英國技術公司在其他市場中追求更大的增長潛力或尋求外國公司的收購。

“A continuation of this trend could lead to decreased global competitiveness, weaker economic prospects and a ‘brain drain’ of talented individuals, at a time when technology is rapidly advancing.”

“這種趨勢的延續可能會導致全球競爭力，較弱的經濟前景和才華橫溢的人的'流失'，而技術正在迅速發展。”

The committee called on the government to “do better by doing less”, including consolidating and streamlining existing schemes to support businesses, rather than launching new schemes.

委員會呼籲政府“通過減少做得更好”，包括合併和簡化現有計劃以支持企業，而不是啟動新計劃。

Currently, the report says, there is an “overly complex spaghetti of schemes that may be hindering rather than helping innovation in some areas”.

該報告說，目前有一個“計劃過於復雜的方案意大利麵條可能正在阻礙，而不是在某些領域幫助創新”。

Baroness Stowell, chair of the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee, said: “Too often it's a case of UK begins, other countries cash in. That has to change.

上議院通訊與數字委員會主席男爵夫人斯托爾男爵說：“這常常是英國開始的一個案例，其他國家兌現。這必須改變。

“The UK has some great advantages when it comes to AI and creative tech; a strong university sector undertaking ground-breaking research and generating commercial spin-outs, and a proud tradition of world-leading creative industries.

“在AI和創意技術方面，英國具有很大的優勢；一個強大的大學部門進行了開創性的研究並產生了商業紡紗，以及世界領先的創意產業的驕傲傳統。

“These sectors have the potential to deliver the fast-paced economic growth the Government wants to achieve.

“這些部門有可能實現政府想要實現的快節奏的經濟增長。

“But we have a real problem turning start-ups into scale-ups.

“但是，我們將初創企業變成規模化時有一個真正的問題。

“Every UK unicorn that gallops overseas to list, or sells out to foreign investors, is a blow to UK PLC and our aspirations for growth.”

“每個在海外疾馳的英國獨角獸，或者賣給外國投資者，都是對英國PLC的打擊，也是我們對增長的願望。”

The report sets out key recommendations for the government for bolstering scale-ups, including ensuring that industrial strategy provides “coherent, cross-sector vision” for supporting technology scale-ups in driving economic growth, unlocking domestic growth capital and fostering a culture where company founders are incentivised to stay in the UK to grow their businesses.

該報告為政府提出了加強規模的關鍵建議，包括確保工業戰略為支持技術規模提供“連貫的，跨部門的願景”，以推動經濟增長，釋放國內增長資本並培養公司的文化激勵創始人留在英國發展業務。

Other recommendations include sustaining investment in the creative industries and tackling barriers for growth for UK AI companies.

其他建議包括維持在創意產業的投資以及為英國AI公司的增長障礙解決障礙。
