UK HealthTech Roadshow Unites Industry, Academia, and Government to Shape MedTech’s Future
The government has placed growth at the heart of its mission and in June of this year published its Industrial Strategy. One important issue raised by the Industrial Strategy is the need to better understand the relationship between national sector strategies and the regional areas where firms are located.
The high-level Sector Plans identified the most important city regions and clusters for the given sector. In addition, regional authorities are developing ambitious Local Growth Plans which are supposed to dovetail with the Industrial Strategy Sector Plans. These local plans need to tackle the critical issues that are constraining growth across sectors including poor transport connections, skills shortages and housing.
