It is a 10-year plan to transform business investment, grow the industries of the future in the UK, deliver economic growth across the UK and put more money in people’s pockets.

Details

Partnerships between the government and industry on sector-specific issues can create significant opportunities to boost productivity, employment, innovation and skills.

We know that these partnerships can work - from our experience of decade-long partnerships such as the Auto Council and the Office for Life Sciences to more recent collaborations including tourism, creative industries, space and professional and business services.

The government is committed to extending these successful partnerships to other parts of the economy.
