The Centre for Sectoral Economic Performance (CSEP) has been established to build a national resource to help ensure that the UK's high-value science and technology-based industries are globally competitive in the 21st century. The Centre is a collaboration between Imperial College's Business School and the Faculty of Engineering, made possible by generous support from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. It builds on foundations established through our recent sectoral studies on biopharma, telecoms and medical devices, and currently underway on the fine chemicals industry.

  • Become the go-to place for researching and advising on the readiness of UK industry to anticipate and accommodate forms of market and technological disruption.
