Recommendation 19

Further negotiations could benefit from being mission-focused, in order to avoid the pit-falls of ad-hoc zero sum negotiations. This should include, for example, fostering deeper integration of US and UK science, research and universities communities and convening the investment community to understand where potential new investment is greatest. The Government should commence use of the Industrial Strategy Council to convene business and industry partners and craft an ambitious vision for future US-UK trade cooperation. (Recommendation, Paragraph 105)
