Invest 2035

The new Industrial Strategy, a 10-year plan to increase business investment and grow the industries of the future in the UK was released on 23 June 2025. 

Industry leaders were critical when the previous government released its industrial strategy in 2021. It is no surprise that the new government’s promise of not just a new industrial strategy but a new statutory body to oversee it was met with cautious optimism.

The Industrial Strategy was released following the Invest 2035 Green Paper, which the government released in October 2024. The Invest 2035 ‘Green Paper’ was a consultative document intended to provoke discussion on policy, was released by Jonathan Reynolds and Rachel Reeves. Crowe UK responded to the Green Paper.

Quite simply ... it is key to ensuring that our country will be able to generate the wealth it needs to sustain itself in the future.

The impact of the pandemic lingers in both the private and the public sector, as well as in individuals’ and the nation’s finances. Geopolitical uncertainty, with wars and political instability across the globe, coupled with the UK’s post-Brexit status, will undoubtedly continue to impact us all. 

An industrial strategy offers a vision for how we want the UK to operate in the future, both economically and societally. Key sub-sectors could be nurtured and supported along their supply chains to support the needs of the identified economic and societal drivers and deliver sustainability and growth.
