About the Electronics Leadership Council

The Electronics Leadership Council (ELC) was formed in October 2005 in response to the first recommendation of the Electronics Innovation and Growth Team's (EIGT) report of December 2004. This report was commissioned by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to examine how best to support innovation and sustain growth within the UK electronics sector.

The Council consists of a Chairman (Harry Tee) and a team of senior individuals from the electronics sector, supported by a number of public sector observers.

The ELC will take forward the key recommendations from the EIGT report and provide a strategic view of its overall implementation. The Council will provide focused and high-profile leadership for the electronics sector as it pursues its longer-term objectives.

The ELC is supported by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, who are providing the secretariat.
