We welcome the UK’s Industrial Strategy, published today, and its strong focus on #AI and technology adoption. It’s a timely move to drive productivity, develop critical skills, and strengthen the economy. Fast-growing scale-ups especially rely on the right tech and finance to compete globally and grow. At Sage, we’re committed to supporting the government’s efforts to make sure small and mid-sized businesses can benefit from this transformation. #IndustrialStrategy https://lnkd.in/eiGzXt6h
Really encouraging to see the strong focus on AI and advanced tech in the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy 2025. With £2 billion committed to AI R&D by 2030 and dedicated support for emerging technologies across defence, healthcare, and manufacturing, it’s clear the government sees AI as a key driver of future growth. The push to build domestic talent, support startups, and streamline data governance is a positive step toward making the UK a global leader in safe and impactful AI innovation.
Exciting move. For many SMEs, bridging the gap between AI tools and practical marketing or analytics usage is still a challenge—initiatives like this can really help.
The world will change dramatically over the next five years driven largely by AI doing the heavy lifting. It’s encouraging to see Sage / Steve Hare championing this transformation and supporting SMEs to stay ahead of the curve.
