Background: The U.K. says it is promoting innovation to enhance productivity across its economy and bring jobs, growth and prosperity to the entire country. The U.K. Innovation Strategy outlines how the government will accomplish these goals by bolstering businesses, people, institutions and technologies. More information on the U.K. Innovation Strategy can be found here.
BAL Analysis: The new immigration routes are designed to improve the U.K. immigration system and compete in the global labor market. BAL will continue to monitor the implementation of these routes and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
