In partnership with businesses, trade associations, unions and experts the Government is developing a series of plans for 8 sectors identified as growth-driving, with the potential to help achieve the UK’s growth mission.
On Tuesday 4 March the BTC will look at the performance of some of these growth-drivers – digital technology, life sciences, professional services – and hear from them about what support they need from Government.
- Do these sectors believe the UK can hit its growth mission - and what part can they play in achieving it?
- What parts of the UK’s business environment - regulatory environment, skills system or tax burden – are holding back their growth?
- What support can Government provide for research and development, infrastructure, access to finance and more, to help these sectors grow the UK economy faster than the rest of the G7?
