techUK is hosting an member-only webinar on Friday 13 June to debrief on the Government’s Spending Review, where we’ll explore its implications for the technology sector and the future of the UK’s Industrial Strategy. This webinar will bring together expert voices to unpack key announcements, discuss funding priorities, and examine how government plans align with long-term industrial and innovation goals.

With the Spending Review setting the capital spending allocations for the next several years, and the anticipated next steps of the Industrial Strategy intended to guide the sector for the next decade, this session will help our members understand the evolving policy landscape, identify new opportunities, and engage effectively with the next steps of the process. 

Speakers to be announced soon.

This event is ideal for policy professionals, strategy leads, and anyone interested in the intersection of tech and government policy. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay informed and contribute to shaping the techUK response.
