  • develop new market opportunities in data driven health and life sciences; modern services; and through the application of creative techniques and technologies in future industries
  • build on the 5 foundations of productivity, including targeted action on skills, housing and transport with plans to drive up levels of business innovation and the commercialisation of research and development
  • make sure all communities can contribute to and benefit from economic prosperity
