Odd way of looking at it.
The problem in Britain is that while it has no shortage of very capable inventors it also has a corporate and political structure run by public school boys (for our american cousins those are very expensive fee-paying schools as opposed to free state schools) who have no clue about technology and thus fail to see potential long-term benefits. They fail to support and invest in those inventions.
Other countries (particularly Germany and Japan) tend to have corporations run by engineers who quite easily understand the benefits of investing in new technology and are not shy of investing.
Take for example jet engines and maglev trains. Both british inventions whose creators singularly failed to get any kind of UK investment.
There are many examples of this and the only exception I know of are Doc Martens boots which were a german invention.
Given that 80% of UK foreign trade is with other EU member states leaving the EU amounts to economical suicide. The only future the UK has outside the EU is guaranteed bankruptcy.
