We have seen key sectors resilient during the crisis where the importance of regional, national and global supply chains have been of prime importance. The need for ongoing food security and a manufacturing sector adaptable to the needs of the health sector are just two examples. We will see businesses with renewed focus who look to the green recovery, developing sustainable transport and energy technologies and offering opportunities to graduates with the right skills and experience.
