This event examines how the UK’s £80bn Industrial Strategy (IS-8) is already reshaping the jobs market, highlighting early impacts across cleantech, digital, telecoms and other strategic sectors, alongside emerging skills and regional growth trends. Set against a shifting geopolitical and fiscal backdrop, it brings together leading industry experts to provide actionable insights into 2025 hiring patterns, investment priorities and the sectors set to outperform.
With the Budget approaching, concerns are growing over how the Chancellor will address the widening fiscal gap and restore business confidence. Early IS-8 investment figures are strong, with major commitments in AI, defence and automotive, while further measures to revitalise Financial Services are expected. Wednesday’s announcements will be closely watched for their impact on growth, competitiveness and the wider economy.
