Tough read on lack of long term plans: ‘Britain has not built a new reservoir since 1992. Since then, population has grown by 10 million.’ “…Britain’s startling underperformance more recently is explained by the more basic factors this document focuses on: preventing investment into housing, infrastructure, and energy supply. “Prosperity is intrinsically important. It gives people security and dignity, leisure and comfort, opportunity and economic freedom. It gives us freedom to pursue our other national goals: caring for older and less fortunate members of society, upholding a law-governed international order, preserving and enhancing our landscapes and townscapes, and leading the way in world-changing scientific research. “But there is even more at stake here than that.

How can strategic specialisations boost inclusive economic growth in your city? 🏙️ We’re excited to share the success of our collaboration with the Welsh Government on the EU COHES3ION project. This initiative aimed to develop a robust framework for Wales’ Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3), driving place-based innovation and fostering inclusive economic prosperity. Through comprehensive evidence-based analysis and extensive stakeholder consultations, we’ve made significant strides in identifying concrete specialisations and aligning them with regional capacities and international best practices. This work has not only informed the Smart Specialisation Strategy but has also highlighted key innovation areas and addressed gaps in business support structures. The impact? Enhanced understanding of the Welsh Innovation Support Landscape and actionable insights for achieving inclusive economic growth across Wales. Is your city facing similar challenges? Let us help you develop a tailored strategy to drive smart governance and strategic economic development. Contact us!
