Our vision is for an innovation-driven Industrial Strategy where universities can work in partnership with business, central, devolved and local governments to create inclusive, long-term growth for all nations and regions of the UK.

By driving breakthroughs in fields such as clean energy, AI and life sciences, our research-intensive universities are delivering the advances and skills critical for our future economy and society. We are doing this with businesses, the NHS and other key partners in ways that benefit communities right across the country and give the UK a real competitive edge internationally.

Putting universities at the centre of the Industrial Strategy will harness the strength of the higher education sector to transform our economy and public services – helping to build a resilient UK.
