Terrific idea. It's good for researchers, good for govt agencies, good for evidence-based govt policies, and good for boosting the likelihood that useful research is actually picked up and used:

UK govt agencies may now register their "areas of interest" (#ARIs) with #Octopus as "research problems". This makes "it much easier for researchers to identify potential opportunities for collaboration as they browse or search the platform for work relevant to their own areas of interest. Reciprocally, when a researcher publishes a piece of work linked to a governmental ARI ‘research problem’, they are given the option to pass their contact details on to the relevant department."
