The Building Our Industrial Strategy Green Paper, published by Government in January, includes the heritage sector as part of the creative industries, one of five specific sector deals announced in a consultation closing on 17 April.
The ‘modern industrial strategy’ proposes ‘sector deals’ to address sector-specific challenges and opportunities. The creative industries, which includes the heritage sector, was one of five specific sector deals announced in the consultation.
The paper notes that other sectors may agree deals if they can ‘organise themselves behind strong leadership to address shared challenges and opportunities and these could involve addressing regulatory barriers; promoting competition and innovation; and working together to increase exports or commercialise research.
