I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.
This investment goes hand in hand with our plans for a National Care Service, helping ensure that people living with dementia get the care and support they need.
If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.
We can do it, and we can be the nation in the next 10 years that… does find the cure for cancer, that does make the breakthrough on dementia, or indeed on nuclear fusion.
