The UK Department for Business and Trade and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) were pleased to host the 2025 Annual Conference of the OECD Global Forum on Productivity (GFP):
“Industrial Strategies in a Globalised World: Delivering for All.”
Leading experts, policymakers and representatives from civil society gathered for a two-day conference to explore the evolving landscape of industrial strategy and economic growth. Through engaging discussions, we addressed key challenges in building a resilient, competitive, and sustainable economy.
Day 1 focused on Industrial Strategy, featuring a keynote on A New Era for Industrial Policy. Sessions explored topics such as market dynamism, investment, and the gap between industrial policy in theory and practice.
Day 2 delved into Types of Growth, with discussions on how to achieve inclusive, resilient, and sustainable economic progress.
This conference was a great opportunity to gain expert insights, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and network with key decision-makers who are shaping the future.
