It is well known that some British universities are leaders in scientific research in this field, being at the forefront of knowledge.
Furthermore, it is a large sector, so that the turnover it generates by 2024 would have already far exceeded £25.000 billion annually, according to some estimates, and it employed thousands of people. The withdrawal of the EU by the United Kingdom after Brexit This has led to the accelerated growth of public investment in the sector, in addition to other endogenous factors that respond to internal sectoral dynamics.
It is, without a doubt, a sector with great appeal for foreign companies seeking collaborations with British companies in this field and, therefore, also generating important commercial opportunities for Andalusian companies, whatever their size and stage of business development.
