Details

The Greater Manchester Local Industrial Strategy is a long-term plan aimed to increase productivity. It is locally led and developed in partnership with government, based on clear evidence and aligned to the national Industrial Strategy.

It sets out how Greater Manchester will work with government to:

  • set Greater Manchester up to be a global leader in health and care innovation
  • position Greater Manchester as a world-leading region for innovative firms to experiment with, develop and adopt advanced materials in manufacturing
  • build on Greater Manchester’s position as a leading European digital city-region, to maximise growing assets in cyber security
  • enable the digitalisation of all sectors and capitalise on the links between digital and creative industries that feed internationally significant clusters in broadcasting, content creation and media
  • launch the UK’s first city-region Clean Growth Mission to achieve carbon neutral living in Greater Manchester by 2038
  • ensure that the education, skills and employment system allow everyone to reach their potential
