The New Statesman’s second annual Igniting Growth one-day conference will explore how policymakers and industry can work together to build the strong, secure and sustainable growth that is at the heart of the government’s agenda.
The Labour government took office following years of slow growth and an economy that has been damaged by financial crises, the Covid-19 pandemic and rising energy prices. However, growth so far under this administration has been modest and the UK still faces significant barriers to growth including low productivity, high inflation, regional disparities and a rising cost of living.
To address these challenges and drive economic growth, the government introduced its Modern Industrial Strategy and sector plans, which aim to galvanise some of the strongest parts of our economy. By creating favourable conditions for scaling up, job creation and investment, the government hopes to deliver stability and certainty to businesses across the UK. But how can we move beyond rhetoric to support tangible delivery for businesses, investors, citizens and consumers?
Taking place in the heart of Westminster, this exclusive conference will convene senior policymakers, industry leaders and key stakeholders to discuss the cross-sector collaboration and disruption needed to drive real change in the British economy and help improve people’s lives.
Join us on Tuesday 17th March to hear insights from experts, politicians and industry leaders and network with fellow influential guests.
