Advocacy

The British Chambers of Commerce believes that AI adoption can be one of the most powerful drivers of productivity, competitiveness and growth for UK businesses.

Our advocacy focuses on turning AI’s potential into real-world outcomes: helping firms save time, reduce costs, improve decision-making and unlock new opportunities.

We champion practical support for businesses of all sizes through better skills, stronger adoption programmes and targeted investment incentives.

At the same time, we work with government to create a trusted, pro-growth policy environment that gives firms confidence to innovate.

Our goal is simple: ensure every British business can benefit from AI and help drive economic growth across the UK.

Support SMEs

Equip every SME with the skills and support to adopt AI. Create a national AI adoption and skills programme for SMEs, funded through existing skills and growth budgets, with local Chambers acting as trusted delivery partners.

Incentivise Investment

Incentivise business investment in AI technology and workforce capability. Introduce targeted AI adoption incentives, including enhanced capital allowances, training support and innovation grants focused on SME implementation.

Trusted Framework

Develop a clear, pro-innovation AI framework that gives businesses confidence to invest, while monitoring labour market impacts and spreading adoption across every sector and region.
