The country's future prosperity requires the development of a
more diverse economic base. The UK must create more successful, high added value
businesses and industries to produce and maintain the wealth creating products,
infrastructure and services of the future. These innovative new enterprises will
build on our national strengths in science and technology, regenerate our
industrial base, address the grand challenges facing society, boost GDP and
underpin social progress at all levels.
The scale and complexity of the process of 21st century
re-industrialisation required is such that it cannot be left solely to the
market to deliver. Creating the hi-tech sustainable economy of the future will
require new models of cooperation between industry, government and education to
rebalance the economy and drive growth.
The engineering profession has formed an alliance,
Engineering the Future, to strengthen engagement with policymakers and support a
thriving economy based on wealth creation and prosperity through engineering
innovation.
Engineering the Future has identified five key policy
priorities to support this agenda. More information can be found by clicking on
the links to the left.
Engineering the Future - a vision for the future of UK engineering (2630KB) is our
vision for UK engineering which forms the basis of proactive solutions
focused engagement with government and policy makers.
A summary of the roles of the engineering institutions and professional bodies
as well as their key activities is available through the
Engineering Landscape (150KB) document.
