UK launches plan for industry as Brexit looms, wins Merck investment

The British government launched a new strategy for industry on Monday, aiming to intervene in key sectors to tackle weak productivity and bolster businesses to counter any new problems caused by Brexit. Prime Minister Theresa May first flagged the plan in January, seven months after Britain voted to leave the European Union, adopting a hands-on approach to business that had largely been abandoned by her predecessors from the time of Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s.

The government said on Monday that it had secured a major investment from global healthcare company MSD, known as Merck & Co in the United States, ahead of the publication of the strategy. Life sciences is one of four sectors being targeted by the government, which will also focus on construction, artificial intelligence and the automotive industry. Business Minister Greg Clark said Britain has some of the world's best universities and research institutions, as well as leading companies in sectors ranging from advanced manufacturing to financial services, life sciences and creative industries.
