This roadmap highlights the strengths, opportunities and challenges in manufacturing in India and the UK and the important contribution that manufacturing plays in both economies. In a globally competitive environment, bilateral and multilateral partnerships are essential to maximise success, and we believe that by harnessing cross-sectoral involvement through universities, SMEs and larger manufacturing companies in both India and the UK, the entire sector will achieve growth through innovation and will continue to be an essential component of the sustainable economic growth required by both India and the UK.
