Policy dialogue

Sharing best practice for designing industrial innovation policies

We convene an international manufacturing policy dialogue series that brings together ‘paired’ institutions from UK and partner countries. The series facilitates a research-informed and structured dialogue helping policy practitioners.

Focus areas

We discuss key topics such as

Building strong international connections

"Our manufacturing innovation institutes leaders valued the candid and collegial discussions, and we look forward to additional conversations in the future".
Mike Molnar, Director US Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office
"The workshop helped us identify practical next steps to increasing the depth of understanding of advanced manufacturing capabilities in both the UK and Japan".
Clare Porter, Head of Manufacturing UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
“We were delighted to find so many areas of common interest and agreement together with a shared enthusiasm for developing a better understanding of the changing face of global manufacturing and identifying areas for future partnership”.
Professor Sir Mike Gregory, University of Cambridge

Supporting policy practitioners

These workshops, roundtables and seminars are designed in close collaboration with stakeholders both in the UK and partner countries to ensure the agenda addresses their evidence needs. We aim to create a space where participants can:

  • Compare and learn about emerging international policy approaches and practices
  • Share practical solutions to challenges faced in developing and implementing effective innovation policies
  • Identify opportunities for ongoing dialogue and collaboration.
