How can the administrative burdens of regulation be reduced?
Background
The Industrial Strategy aims to spur national productivity growth, strengthen the UK’s economic security and resilience, and support the UK’s environmental and net zero transition. It aims to achieve this by increasing business investment in capital and innovation, attracting foreign investment, and increasing business dynamism in the IS-8 sectors.
These sectors contain the UK’s frontier industries that sit at the leading edge of innovation and have the greatest potential for future competitiveness and technological development. By prioritising these frontier industries, the strategy targets the parts of the economy most capable of driving innovation and supporting major transitions such as AI adoption and net zero.
