The Institute for Industrial Strategy (IFIS) at King’s College was launched in 2018 to meet the challenge of the emerging Industrial Strategy.
 

The Institute is dedicated to helping develop and shape an Industrial Strategy by providing critical thinking and expertise on a range of key policy areas, including productivity, supply chains, digital transformation, and skills development. 

We are part of a positive academic environment at the heart of London, collaborating with academics from across disciplines within King’s, and geographically very close to Westminster and Whitehall.

Our vision is to contribute to a successful Industrial Strategy which is capable of creating a favourable environment where large and small businesses can flourish, and which can, ultimately, improve the earning power and living conditions of communities across the UK. Our view is that the Industrial Strategy will not work without a cross-cutting narrative that inspires businesses, the educational sector, and the public.

We welcome contact from anyone working in the Industrial Strategy policy area, or related areas, whatever their professional context.

It will attempt to answer the question of how the UK will develop the skills base, infrastructure and innovation which will match the demands of an increasingly competitive global marketplace...
