After a busy month of infrastructure commitments from the UK government, host Rob Hakimian welcomes Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) director of policy and external affairs Sam Gould to the podcast to discuss it all.

Global technology leaders Coinbase, Fabric Ventures, Animoca Brands and Founders Factory have announced the launch of a multi-million pound accelerator in the UK, set to transform the UK's blockchain and AI ecosystem. This partnership aims to unlock product market fit and growth for the next generation of disruptors and to drive investment in technology startups as a key engine of the UK economy. As institutions and jurisdictions around the world accelerate their adoption of AI, blockchain technology and digital assets, the UK stands uniquely positioned to compete in the global race for innovation. As Keith Grose, UK CEO, Coinbase asserts: "With deep reservoirs of talent, capital, sophisticated regulators and leading academic institutions, the UK is well positioned to benefit from these opportunities. However, ensuring that these products and services are born out of the UK is vital. For too long, access to capital, mentorship and resources has held back this ambition. This significant investment changes that." Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: "This announcement is a strong vote of confidence in the UK's tech sector - underlining our position as a global leader in innovation. Not only will it ensure that the UK remains a key leader in blockchain technology but will also unlock growth as we deliver on the Plan for Change. Our modern Industrial Strategy has highlighted financial and professional services as key growth sectors for the UK to thrive in, showing that we are listening and responding to the needs of Fintech businesses - whether that's on access to talent, finance, or the wider regulatory environment." Founders Factory, one of the leading start-up accelerators globally, will deliver world class business and growth training, with hands-on support across business strategy, go to market, product development and fundraising. Alongside them, Fabric Ventures, Animoca Brands and Coinbase will deliver support on tokenomics, community go-to-market strategies, and best practices for scaling businesses in the blockchain & AI space. Robby Yung, the CEO of Investments at Animoca Brands stated: "It is critical that the UK takes advantage of the opportunity of the fast-growing Web3 industry, not just as a hub for investment but as a place where innovation is built, owned, and scaled. The UK must be a creator, not just a consumer, of this innovation. The real opportunity lies in developing it here, building intellectual property that leverages the world-class talent base and ecosystem in the UK." The Labour Government's vision for growth is deeply tied to the success of one of the UK's fastest-growing sectors: technology. This initiative is a step change in making that vision a reality - supporting a diverse group of founders across blockchain-based payments, entertainment, AI, and other cutting-edge industries. Commenting on this, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Fabric Ventures, Richard Muirhead said: "This Government's AI Action Plan has been met with widespread optimism. However, this is only one piece of the puzzle. The convergence of AI, blockchain and Web3 plays to the UKs strengths in these disciplines - and fostering collaboration amongst our strong industries like financial services, advertising and pharmaceuticals is essential for the UK to maintain its leadership in the global digital race. This accelerator will play a key role in driving that progress." Damian Routley, COO at Founders Factory, said: "This is about leveling up the UK's ability to build and scale frontier technology. Founders in blockchain and AI need more than capital - they need hands-on, specialised support to unlock product-market fit and go global. That's what this accelerator delivers. By combining deeptech expertise with the power of a world-class network, we're creating a launchpad for the next generation of breakthrough UK startups." See more stories here.

Starmer: Time to put UK FIRST! #Brexit #KeirStarmer #DonaldTrump #UKSovereignty In this video, Jon Gaunt dives deep into Keir Starmer's response to Donald Trump's trade war and the unique opportunity it presents for the UK. With Brexit done, now is the time for Starmer to prioritise the UK's future by offering businesses a real incentive to relocate to Britain. Starmer should take bold action and ditch costly green energy targets, relax overbearing regulations, and ensure British workers are ready to fill new jobs. While he recently visited Jaguar, Starmer's small adjustments aren't enough. The UK needs a bold, clear industrial strategy that everyone can support. It's time to move away from EU red tape and take full control of our borders, immigration policy, and laws. We voted for Brexit, but it's time to truly reclaim sovereignty and independence. Donald Trump's trade policies offer a chance for the UK to flourish on its own terms. Will Starmer seize this moment or remain a puppet of EU interests, forever dreaming of a United States of Europe?

Background: The Labour government has already published the first draft of an industrial policy entitled ‘Invest 2035'. After seeking consultation, the intention is to implement a battle plan in 2025. Yet evidenced on the direction taken by other countries, such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, sustainable success is a long-term plan. Their future mindset is ‘Invest 2045' or ‘Invest 2055'.What should the UK be doing? It has abundant resources, a talented workforce, great universities, and a quality of life to attract the best international talent. How should British industrial strategy be made? To paraphrase the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu, how can the UK “grasp and win”?Speaker:A qualified barrister and solicitor, Iain Sheridan has over 20 years' experience advising on financial regulation.

While the last Conservative government did not use the term ‘industrial strategy', it nonetheless effectively operated one. Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt set out five “growth sectors” he wanted to support to drive through the government's priorities, and funded an Advanced Manufacturing Plan, published a Battery Strategy, and set out plans and resources for aerospace, automotives, offshore wind and more. The government's post-Brexit reforms to state aid gave UK ministers the ability to set the rules and deploy state subsidy in a more nimble and targeted way, while the Vaccines Taskforce set a precedent for decisive government support of a vital industry, advertising to the world the UK's excellence in Life Sciences. But at the same time, Rishi Sunak's Conservative government was reticent of talking about any kind of industrial strategy, unlike some previous Conservative leaders. This event discussed what the Conservatives should learn from recent experience of industrial policy. Key questions will include: Speakers: Andrew Griffith MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Professor Nigel Brandon OBE, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Professor of Sustainable Development in Energy at Imperial College London Rain Newton-Smith, Chief Executive of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Giles Wilkes, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government This event was chaired by Dr Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government.

Labour has inherited an economy that has struggled with low growth and weak productivity for most of the past 15 years. The government has proposed a new industrial strategy, sometimes called ‘securonomics', which it says will help to deliver high-tech industries, boost lagging regions and support UK companies to be global champions in growth sectors.

The UK's productivity record since the financial crisis has been dismal. In the long term, the country cannot become more prosperous and afford the public services it needs without reversing this trend. The new Labour government has committed to boosting growth as one of its five missions for government and set out its intention to put industrial strategy at the heart of its policy making. But how can industrial strategy help to restore productivity growth? This event explored the relationship between growth and industrial strategy.
Keir Starmer has been meeting the new First Minister Eluned Morgan as part of a two day trip to Wales. While the trip included a visit to a wind farm, Starmer quickly faced questions about the fate of steel workers in Port Talbot.

Hear from Simon Sharpe, Director of Economics at the UNFCCC Climate Champions, as we explore three key problems that are impeding the transition to net-zero and how to address them. We know that reaching net zero emissions quickly enough to avoid the worst impacts of climate change will be very challenging. But are we making it even more difficult than it needs to be? Today's guest thinks so, particularly when it comes to climate science, economics, and climate diplomacy. That's why in today's episode, we'll be looking at how we could make all three work more effectively. We'll explore: · How climate science must change in order to generate meaningful action within our political institutions; · How economists became overly fixated on carbon pricing, while missing other policies that would be even more impactful in accelerating the transition to net zero; · And how the current model of climate diplomacy could be altered to allow for faster net zero negotiations.

In 2013-15, he created an international climate change risk assessment project, working with experts from the UK, USA, China, India, and other countries. In addition to influencing the understanding and assessment of climate change risk in its partner countries, its findings were extensively cited by the Scientific Advisory Board of the UN Secretary General. It also inspired new thinking in the academic community, with a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change using it to argue that ‘climate science needs to take risk assessment much more seriously'. More recently, he has worked with partners in the UK, China, India and Brazil to create the world's first government-backed project to apply complexity economics to climate change. His paper on economic tipping points, ‘Upward-scaling tipping cascades to meet climate goals: plausible grounds for hope', was the most downloaded paper in Climate Policy journal in 2021. Simon has published influential reports and created ground-breaking international projects in climate change risk assessment, economics, and diplomacy. His recent book, “Five Times Faster,” draws from Simon's ten years' experience at the forefront of climate change policy and diplomacy.

The Biden administration's National Defense Industrial Strategy will significantly impact taxpayers. Is the aim to strengthen US defense capabilities or put America on a permanent war footing? The NDIS contains contradictions, especially considering taxpayers will soon pay more each year to service the nation's debt than on the military. Hit play to hear TCS National Security Analyst Gabe Murphy and host Steve Ellis explain the details and why Congress should scrutinize the NDIS and its potential impact on taxpayers.
Dr. Jerry McGinn, the director of the Baroni Center for Government Contracting at George Mason University, and Steve Grundman of the Atlantic Council and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University — who both lead the Pentagon's industrial policy office — discuss the Biden administration's first ever National Defense Industrial Strategy that was unveiled by last week with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.
“Nice people become horrible people” during an election year, says Richard Harrington. But as the ex-Tory minister who recently led a government review of the UK's approach to attracting foreign investment, he adds that he hopes his recommendations will be embraced by Labour and Conservatives, rather than being “sucked into” a political fight. On this week's episode of In the City, Harrington joins Francine Lacqua and Allegra Stratton to discuss why the UK's attractiveness as an investment destination has faded. A former parliamentary under secretary of state at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Harrington complains the government is “old fashioned” and disorganized.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Investment is rising in America's clean energy sector. According to the Clean Investment Monitor, a joint project of the Rhodium Group and MIT, the sector received $213 billion in new investment over the past year, a 37% increase over the previous year. This new investment brings new challenges, such as implementing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), translating money into infrastructure, sustaining support for the energy transition, and fending off economic competition from abroad. How is the surge of clean energy investment changing the American economy? What sectors and regions are benefitting the most? And what is still needed to get the U.S.on track to meet its climate goals? This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Brian Deese about IRA implementation, green industrial strategy, and national security. Brian was the director of the White House's National Economic Council from 2021 to 2023. Prior to that, he served in the Office of Management and Budget and as a senior advisor to President Barack Obama, as well as global head of sustainable investing for BlackRock. Since leaving government, he has taken up a post as Institute Innovation Fellow at MIT, where he plays a key role in developing the Clean Investment Monitor.
