The UK's Modern Industrial Strategy 2025
Following on from their Green paper (see below), the UK Government published the UK's Modern Industrial Strategy in June 2025. Alongside this 5 of the 8 sector plans were published (Advanced Manufacturing, Creative Industries, Clean Energy Industries, Digital and Technologies and Professional and Business Services) with the Life Sciences plan and the Financial Services Growth & Competitiveness Strategy being published in mid-July and the Defence sector plan to follow.
AREF looks forward in supporting the Government in achieving the aims of this strategy.
Green Paper: Invest 2035 - UK Modern Industrial Strategy
In October 2024, the Department for Business and Trade published a Green Paper on the Government's Industrial Strategy for the next 10 years. This focussed on driving growth in eight sectors:
- Advanced Manufacturing
- Clean Energy Industries
- Creative Industries
- Defence
- Digital and Technologies
- Financial Services
- Life Sciences
- Professional and Business Services
AREF explained in its response, submitted on 22 November 2024, that for all of these growth-driving sectors real estate investment should be a foundational sector.
