In this episode, Pamela Largue speaks to Kate Willard Chair of Thames Estuary Growth Board about the importance of industrial clusters in fostering sector integration and driving decarbonisation.
Industrial clusters are not only spurring innovation, explains Willard, but also bringing together supply and demand in a way that aligns strategies and grows businesses.
Willard explains that the benefits of clustering go far beyond the borders of the UK and Europe. Work is being done with global estuaries as well to decarbonise industries around the world.
