Details

The plan will ensure the UK continues to lead in the development and deployment of clean and digital manufacturing technologies.

It will also provide businesses with a clear commitment to the longer-term success of the sector. It will take targeted and strategic action to ensure our business environment and international competitiveness remain strong.

We will meet our ambitions through the following 3 priorities:

  • investing in the future of manufacturing by extending and building on our successful programmes to 2030, and forging partnerships with businesses to support market-led investment in innovation and research and development (R&D)
  • cooperating internationally and increasing UK capability to build supply chain resilience, boost economic security and ensure our sectors have access to the goods that drive prosperity
  • reducing costs and removing barriers to boost competitiveness and ensure the UK retains its attractiveness to international investors in the long term
