Glossary of tech, science and innovation terms
The glossary was produced by the Institute of Directors’ Technology, Science and Innovation Expert Advisory Group with the aim of simplifying specialist terms in this space.
More terms will be added to the glossary in the future, and the EAG will look for input from members on terms they think would be useful to include.
