Science, technology, engineering and maths can provide significant benefits to the United Kingdom's service sector but their role is hidden and unacknowledged, laments a report by the Royal Society. Such benefits could include much more accurate financial-risk reports for the financial services sector, according to Hidden Wealth: The Contribution of Science to Service Sector Innovation. The report makes some specific recommendations. One is for banking, technology and research groups to create systemic risk modelling and risk-assessment analyses using the latest research (see page 680). Another is for a formal cooperative exchange between research academics and the service sector.
