Why attend?

The New Statesman’s inaugural Igniting Growth one-day conference will explore the ins and outs of Labour's ambitious plans to ignite growth across the UK economy and how public-private collaboration can be harnessed to address key challenges and unlock opportunities in today’s challenging economic climate.

The conference will explore topics including Labour’s vision, plans and prospects for the role of technology innovation in unlocking opportunities across the economy, unleashing capital to invest in future growth industries and delivering and financing major infrastructure projects.

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 25th March to hear insights from experts, politicians and industry leaders and network with fellow influential guests.
