Business Lincolnshire urges manufacturers in Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland to participate in the UK government’s latest initiative aimed at improving finance access for scaling up advanced manufacturing. This “call for evidence” is a crucial opportunity for local manufacturers, investors, and experts to voice the specific financial challenges and opportunities they face when seeking investment to grow.
By contributing, manufacturers can influence future finance strategies that better cater to regional needs, guiding policies within the government’s “Invest 2035” vision, designed to enhance the UK's competitive edge in advanced manufacturing.
The government seeks insights on issues including common financing barriers, the effectiveness of current financing solutions, and ideas for facilitating easier access to growth capital. Business Lincolnshire believes that the input from Greater Lincolnshire’s manufacturers is essential, especially in aligning national finance policies with local requirements and supporting long-term growth for the region’s industrial sector.
Manufacturers are encouraged to act quickly, as responses are due by 26 November 2024. We hope local businesses take this chance to directly inform policymakers and help create a more inclusive, robust financial landscape that supports advanced manufacturing scale-ups.
