Competitiveness in the Knowledge Driven Economy


"The modern world is swept by change. This new world challenges business to be innovative and creative, to improve performance continuously, to build new alliances and ventures. But it also challenges Government: to create and execute a new approach to industrial policy. That is the purpose of this White Paper."

The Rt Hon Tony Blair MP,
Prime Minister

Our Competitive Future - Building the Knowledge Driven Economy (Cm 4176) was published in December 1998. It sets out the competitive challenge facing the UK, a new model for how public policy can help business meet the challenge, and flagship programmes to promote entrepreneurship. Innovation, business learning and modern, competitive markets.
