Questions from the Industrial Strategy Advisory Council:
Local growth
How can the UK’s second tier cities, underperforming and high-potential city regions that have industries affected by the net zero transition or are particularly exposed to labour market disruption due to AI be best supported in the transition?
Industrial Strategy Advisory Council, 2026
Future developments in skills
How can skills and wider polices be agile to such developments and steer towards labour augmentation rather than labour replacing technology adoption? How can the impacts of such developments on Industrial Strategy sectors be anticipated and managed? How might such developments impact the potential for Industrial Strategy sectors to generate good jobs across the country?
