In the intricate dance of global progress, economic growth and innovation have long choreographed the steps of industrial policy. As the music shifts towards the urgent beats of sustainability and equitable development, there is a compelling need to re-imagine global industrial policy.
I had the privilege of speaking on a panel at the launch of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (Unido) Report 2024, focusing on this new era of industrial policy. The report serves as a clarion call for this transformation and offers a roadmap to align industrial policy with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in a quest for fair globalisation.
