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, they published, over the summer of 2025, 8 sector plans (Advanced Manufacturing, Creative Industries, Clean Energy Industries, Defence, Digital and Technologies, Financial Services Growth & Competitiveness Strategy, Life Sciences and Professional and Business Services).
AREF looks forward in supporting the Government in achieving the aims of this strategy.
Green Paper: Invest 2035 - UK Modern Industrial Strategy

- Advanced Manufacturing

- Creative Industries
- Defence
- Digital and Technologies

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.
