Abstract: Abstract This chapter deals with the recurring barriers relating to policy—at different stages in the cycle—from the initial stage of communication and development, through to implementation, and feedback from those on the ground about impact and new requirements. It points to the importance of establishing regular meaningful dialogue with all the stakeholders if emerging risks (and opportunities) are to be identified and addressed in a timely way, and to the need for Universities to take a more active role in supporting this dialogue. The first section concentrates on the very recurrent funding policy issues and the policies that respondents felt were most effective for the sector, and for companies themselves. The second section concentrates on the extent to which poor implementation of policies can hamper rather than help in practice. Lastly this chapter looks at the barriers to feedback and collaboration between companies and policymakers, highlighting the economic cost of failure to harness what users know about the cluster landscape on the ground and the potential to learn from other sectors that have harnessed this to advantage.
