As a modern efficient industry we will gain recognition on a World stage and improve the export potential of UK companies.

- Digital – Delivering better, more certain outcomes using digital technologies
- Manufacturing – Improving productivity, quality and safety by increasing the use
of manufacturing - Performance – Optimising through-life performance though the development of smart assets, using digital technologies to deliver digital twins. This key area also encompass the development of integrated renewable energy technologies to decarbonise the built environment.
