While it is not the only department to do so, the Department for Business and Trade directly supports industry through a range of interventions with a range of policy objectives. Some of the Department’s interventions are aimed at specific sectors whereas others are designed to improve the general business environment. The form and scale of this support varies and includes grants, advice, and international agreements.29 Examples of high-profile support initiatives delivered by the Department include the British Industry Supercharger (designed to reduce energy costs for energy intensive industries) and the Automotive Transformation Fund (an initiative to create an internationally competitive electric vehicle supply chain in the UK).30
