29 Apr 2026
Advanced Manufacturing & Industry
Industrial Transformation

The UK’s industrial strategy seeks to drive growth, create jobs and open new opportunities for British businesses through frontier sectors such as clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and life sciences.

Nearly a year on from its launch, the key question is whether ambition is translating into delivery, and how effectively this strategy is shaping investment, innovation, and competitiveness across the economy.

  • How effectively is the UK delivering on the ambitions of its industrial strategy?

  • What impact is the strategy having on investment decisions across business and industry?

  • What opportunities is this creating for international collaboration (US, EU, Indo-Pacific) in R&D and advanced manufacturing?
