UK plan to boost industry as Brexit looms
By EUobserver
The British government is set to reveal on Monday a new strategy to boost UK industry ahead of Brexit. The plan was first flagged in January, seven months after Britain voted to leave the European Union. A first £1bn (€1.1bn) deal with US pharma giant MSD was announced as part of the strategy and is expected to create 1,750 high-skilled jobs planned for research hubs in London and Manchester.
