The UK Modern Industrial Strategy has today been published by the UK Government, setting our a ten year strategy and targeted plans for those sectors with the 'highest potential' for growth.
Commenting on the Industrial Strategy, John Rawlinson, Industrial Lead - UK & Ireland, AtkinsRéalis,said:
“Today’s Industrial Strategy is a welcome long-term plan with the potential to strengthen the UK’s industrial sectors and accelerate the research, development and roll-out of new technologies across the UK.
“This Industrial Strategy sets out a long term vision with innovation, partnership and people at the centre, creating a platform for accelerated growth across the sector as well as a vital interface with connected strategies like defence and the wider economy as a whole.
“A resilient and thriving industrial ecosystem with access to secure, affordable energy supply will underpin much of the UK’s growth ambitions and net zero goals, from local economic development to the sector-wide strategies that will enable greater investment in skills, technology and innovation.
“The strategic siting of industry is highly dependent on reliable energy connections, sustainable resource availability, good transport infrastructure, a solid skills pipeline and interconnected regional growth strategies, and we welcome that this holistic approach is reflected in the plans published today.”
