Recommendation 12

The Government’s industrial strategy must provide a coherent, cross-government vision for the role of innovative technology scaleups in delivering the Government’s growth ambitions across its eight key sectors. It should serve as an opportunity to critically review the existing landscape of support for scaleups , and be underpinned by a resolute focus on removing barriers to growth. In its response to this report, the Government should outline how it will reconcile this with competing policy priorities, for example its commitments on net zero and employment rights.
