How can R&D ensure the new industrial strategy creates growth?

65 min • 2 oktober 2024

Labour has inherited an economy that has struggled with low growth and weak productivity for most of the past 15 years. The government has proposed a new industrial strategy, sometimes called ‘securonomics’, which it says will help to deliver high-tech industries, boost lagging regions and support UK companies to be global champions in growth sectors. And it plans to establish a new Industrial Strategy Council to ensure the kind of long-term commitment to the agenda that has too often been missing. This event discussed what this council should do to help deliver Labour’s aspirations for economic renewal.  

 

Speakers:


Lord Patrick Vallance, Minister of State for Science, Research and Innovation


Peter Foster, Public Policy Editor at the Financial Times


Professor Mary Ryan, Vice-Provost (Research and Enterprise) at Imperial College London


Giles Wilkes, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government


This event was chaired by Dr Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government.
