We have identified six industries which are or will be at the cutting edge of the high-tech economy. In this paper, we explore what steps the next Labour government should take to encourage them, as part of a high-tech, high-growth, and high-productivity industrial strategy.
These industries will be innovative cornerstones of the modern economies of the future and have the potential to spread prosperity around the UK through regional clusters.
These industries are:
Advanced manufacturing, materials and supply chains
Life Sciences
AI and machine learning
Space and Satellite technology
Low carbon energy
Zero-emission transport
