Conclusion
Uncertainty about the relevance or content of the Industrial Strategy suggests that, in combination, the strategy’s multiple overlapping features made it overly complex and obscured its purpose. The extent to which the strategy’s Foundations and Grand Challenges shaped the day-to-day experience of the business people who participated in our roundtables was limited, as was their understanding of granular elements of the strategy. Stakeholders in the devolved nations also noted insufficient opportunities for engagement with the Government on these fundamental aspects of the Strategy.

The Government recognises the importance of working closely and collaboratively with key stakeholders, in the business community and beyond, to ensure that the Government’s plans address challenges faced by business and grasp opportunities for future growth. There are several fora across Government that allow us to do this effectively.
