Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy

(BEIS).

The UK government Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is responsible for:

• business
• industrial strategy
• science, research and innovation
• energy and clean growth and
• climate change

Its priorities from 2019 to 2020 were to:

• deliver an ambitious industrial strategy
• maximise investment opportunities and bolster UK interests as the UK leaves the EU
• promote competitive markets and responsible business practices
• ensure the UK has a reliable, low cost and clean energy system and
• build a flexible, innovative, collaborative and business-facing department

The BEIS was formed in 2016 by the merger of the formerly separate:

(i) Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) and

(ii) Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
