Industrial Policy Advisory
Design industrial policy that survives contact with markets and politics.
The engagement
Industrial policy fails for predictable reasons: instruments misaligned with firm behaviour, fiscal cost untethered from measurable capability gain, and delivery bodies without the authority to act. We work alongside your teams to diagnose the binding constraint, design the instrument mix, cost it honestly, and build the institutional machinery that will still function after the political cycle turns.
Who this is for
- Ministries of industry, economy, energy and trade
- National development banks and investment promotion agencies
- Special economic zone and industrial corridor authorities
- Corporate strategy teams negotiating with the state
What you receive
- Capability and constraint diagnostic with sector prioritisation
- Instrument design: incentives, procurement, local content, finance
- Fiscal cost model with sensitivity and clawback provisions
- Delivery architecture: mandate, governance, staffing, decision rights
- Monitoring framework with measurable capability indicators
What changes as a result
- A strategy with named owners, sequenced milestones and honest costs
- Instruments that change firm behaviour rather than subsidise inertia
- Institutional capacity that outlasts individual administrations
- Defensible positions for cabinet, legislature and lender scrutiny
