This seminar discussed priorities ahead for the Government’s industrial strategy.
Following the publication of Government’s Building our Industrial Strategy green paper, delegates considered key questions around the strategy’s design - including whether it should have a sectoral approach or broader objectives such as competiveness - and assessed its possible implications for skills, investment, research and regional development across the UK economy. The discussion was also informed by the challenges and opportunities facing key UK industries following the EU referendum result.
The conference was also scheduled to facilitate discussion on the findings of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee’s inquiry into Industrial Strategy, which reported shortly before the seminar took place.
Sessions brought together senior policymakers with representatives from a wide range of relevant industries - such as aerospace, agriculture, automotive, construction, defence, energy, electronics and life sciences - as well as investors, suppliers, enterprise partnerships, trade associations, consultants, academics, trade unions and banks, together with representatives from the national and trade press.
