Building our Industrial Strategy
We are developing a modern industrial strategy to benefit the whole of the country
Investing in science, research & innovation
We will become a more innovative economy and do more to commercialise our world leading science base, developing new technologies and driving growth throughout the UK.
Developing skills
We will build a proper system of technical education, and boost key skills in science, technology, engineering, maths and digital proficiency, to ensure people have the skills employers need now and in the future.
Upgrading infrastructure
We will upgrade our digital, energy, transport, water and flood defence infrastructure, and join up central government investment and local growth priorities more effectively.
Supporting businesses
to start & grow
We will support businesses and entrepreneurs across the UK, to ensure they can access finance and wider support to grow, and have the right conditions for companies to invest long-term.
Improving procurement
We will ensure public procurement drives innovative new products and services, strengthens skills, develops UK supply chains and increases competition by creating more opportunities for SMEs.
Encouraging trade
& inward investment
We will make Britain a global leader in free trade, including promoting and supporting UK exports, building future trading relations and creating a more active approach to winning major overseas contracts.
