Commenting, UK Private Capital Chief Executive Michael Moore said:
“We welcome Mr Burnham’s focus on public and private investment working hand in hand to make the UK an innovation nation. Private capital has a vital role to play in every nation and region of the UK, backing businesses, unlocking investment and helping local economies realise their full potential.
“By bringing decision-making closer to the communities it affects, and by strengthening partnerships between local leaders, businesses and private capital, investors such as our members can help more scale-up businesses and innovative spin-outs across the country grow and commercialise their ideas.
“Such focus on place-based collaboration and investment as a baseline for the UK economy presents a serious new opportunity for building a more dynamic and growing economy.”
