Allen Alexander interprets the proposed national industrial strategy for the different types of academics working in the UK.
The industrial strategy, recently published by the UK government as a green paper, aims to intrinsically connect the UK’s areas of strength through innovation agencies, Local Enterprise Partnerships, Regional Centres of Excellence and networks of Innovation Centres and science parks; all in parallel with skills and education across the whole education spectrum.
