The UK is a global leader in technology and artificial intelligence, offering world-class talent, pro-innovation regulation, and leading research institutions. To strengthen our position, we have developed a new Digital and Tech Sector Plan, which will follow publication of the Industrial Strategy, to drive growth and innovation. We are also unlocking investment through wider reforms like the Mansion House Accord, British Growth Partnership, and National Wealth Fund—mobilising over £100 billion of additional capital. Our AI Opportunities Action Plan sets out how we will build AI infrastructure, including through AI Growth Zones, ensuring the UK remains an attractive destination for AI investment and development.
