On Monday, the Government published their green paper for a new national industrial strategy. This sets out the broad direction of their plan for industrial strategy and the thinking behind it, before the full strategy will be published in Spring next year. The green paper is open for consultation until the 24th November.

The paper outlines a 10-year strategy that would target eight sectors: Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Energy Industries, Creative Industries, Defence, Digital and Technologies, Financial Services, Life Sciences, and Professional and Business Services. The next stage of the strategy will identify subsectors within these areas which will be prioritised, based on government objectives and evidence that policy can make a difference.
