Recommendation 5

We recognise that the UK needs to prioritise and play to its strengths if it is going to move the dial on growth. We support the Government’s decision to focus the industrial strategy on sectors of the economy where the UK has a comparative advantage, or the ability to build one. However, the industrial strategy and sector plans should be supplemented by a clearer vision of how the UK can contribute to, and economically benefit from, societal challenges that are reshaping the global economy.
