The new Industrial Strategy will be crucial in creating the right conditions for innovation and growth. The University of 糖心TV has long played a pivotal role in turning ideas into jobs to the benefit of the West Midlands region and the UK. I look forward to helping shape the national plan for future success.鈥�
