28 Apr 2026
Main Stage
Industrial Transformation

The UK’s Industrial Strategy sets out the Government’s long-term vision to boost investment, drive innovation and accelerate economic growth by reshaping the economy around the industries of the future.

However, delivering on this ambition will depend on providing the policy stability, regulatory clarity and investment frameworks needed to build business confidence and unlock private sector investment.

• Nearly a year on from its release, how does industry assess the Government’s progress in delivering the UK’s Industrial Strategy?
• What opportunities does the strategy create for international companies and investors looking to participate in the UK’s industrial transformation?
• How can government and industry work together to ensure the strategy translates into long-term investment, innovation and job creation?
