This Annex to the 'Technology and innovation futures' report gives information summarising each of the technologies, derived from the workshops, the interviews and desk research. These have been grouped together in the 28 clusters noted in Section 4 of the main body of this report, and underpin the seven broader cross-cutting areas described in Section 2. The Technology Annex consists of 55 entries on specific future technologies and innovations, loosely grouped into the four areas of Materials and Nanotechnologies; Biotech and Pharmaceuticals; and Digital and Networks, corresponding to the individual workshops held on these areas. For each of the technologies, comparable information is provided (when available) on the size of the potential market in 2025, the disruptive potential of the technology, UK capability, and barriers and enablers. Although augmented with desk work, the information contained within the Annex is not intended to be comprehensive. The choice of material and the emphasis on particular areas reflects the expertise of the participants in the interviews and the workshops and the nature of the discussion at the latter.
