<p>Industrial Strategy is a long-term whole-of-government approach to support economic
growth. The partnership between business and all parts of government has delivered,
and continues to deliver, a range of opportunities to help create growth, jobs and
economic prosperity across the UK. Whilst there are many examples of collaboration
at a local level delivering industrial strategy objectives and economic growth (see
www.bit.ly/instratmap), industrial strategy operates on a thematic and sectoral basis.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to creating a Northern Powerhouse,
enabling the North of England to reach its potential as a driving force in the UK
economy. The Government works closely with the Local Enterprise Partnerships across
the North West, which are responsible for determining the priorities for investment
in their areas in line with their strategic economic plans. This includes the expanded
growth deals agreed in January 2015 with each Local Enterprise Partnership, which
committed a total of £1.25bn of investment in the North West area over the lifetime
of the deals (2015-2021), including £263.9m for the Liverpool City Region.</p><p>
