Department of Trade and Industry

Working with businesses, employees and consumers to drive up UK productivity and competitiveness to deliver prosperity for all.

The DTI drives our ambition of 'prosperity for all' by working to create the best environment for business success in the UK. We help people and companies become more productive by promoting enterprise, innovation and creativity.

We champion UK business at home and abroad. We invest heavily in world-class science and technology. We protect the rights of working people and consumers. And we stand up for fair and open markets in the UK, Europe and the world.

In this world of rapid change and intense competition, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) plays a vital role, working towards a vision of prosperity for all.

We do this by facilitating partnerships and promoting fresh thinking between government, businesses, employees, unions, consumers and the scientific community. We invest in world-class science and technology, and help ensure its successful exploitation. We promote a legal framework that encourages enterprise and innovation, ensuring consumers, companies and employees receive a fair deal. We ensure a successful economy is underpinned by secure, sustainable and affordable energy. And we champion British interests globally while promoting economic reform in Europe and free and fair world trade.
