Industrial Strategy

The Government’s new Industrial Strategy provides a fresh opportunity for local areas to make a strong and compelling economic case to secure the resources to deliver their growth priorities and regeneration objectives.

Local Industrial Strategies are a defined deliverable to be brought forward by Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) and Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and agreed with government. This approach is expected to be replicated with the devolved administrations.

Local authorities and sub-regions across the country will need to proactively engage with LEPs, MCAs and devolved administrations to influence and steer development of local strategies to ensure their specific economic priorities and growth opportunities are given the prominence they need.

Industrial Strategy is our range of services and tools designed to help local authorities shape industrial strategies for their area.
