The Industrial Strategy directly addresses many themes discussed in this thread, particularly regarding critical minerals and supply chain security. The document emphasizes "strategic investments in critical supply chains, technologies, and energy security" and establishes a new Supply Chain Centre to review critical inputs.
The strategy includes specific provisions for foundational industries that support the IS-8 sectors, explicitly mentioning critical minerals as essential inputs for advanced manufacturing and clean energy industries. This IXR's ionic technologies and rare earth processing capabilities and funding for the Commercial Plant in Belfast.
The document at the provided URL is definitively the UK Industrial Strategy 2025, representing the final implementation plan for the "Invest 2035" initiative. The strategy provides the official government framework supporting the strategic importance of critical minerals processing, advanced manufacturing, and supply chain independence that directly validates the investment thesis for companies operating in these sectors.
IMHO The UK Industrial Strategy 2025 provides general frameworks and funding mechanisms for projects like IXR's commercial plant + IXR's funding has been progressing through the separate ATF and APC, but now with this framework in place this now will accelerate the process of funding the Commercial Plant. The document prioritizes advanced manufacturing, critical minerals, and supply chain resilience, and establishes new financial and grant mechanisms (NWF, UKEF, sector grants) that are designed to support exactly these types of projects.
