UK steel strategy

Announcements related to the UK steel industry and the government's development of the steel strategy.

The steel strategy will set our long-term vision for a revitalised and sustainable industry, with greater steel-making capabilities, and enable a competitive business landscape so we can have a bright future for steel here in the UK. The government has taken a series of steps to support the industry and will publish the full strategy later in the year.

The government stands by its manifesto commitment to spend up to £2.5 billion to rebuild the UK steel sector. This is being delivered in part though the National Wealth Fund. The National Wealth Fund is operationally independent, and financing is already accessible to projects that meet the investment principles. Companies across the UK are already engaging with the National Wealth Fund on projects within the steel sector. To find out more, contact the National Wealth Fund.
