With an election on the horizon, the political parties are laying out their visions for the future of regional development. But how do these visions stack up against the reality of investment, jobs and infrastructure in the North and Midlands? And what will the next election mean for the future of the levelling up agenda?
From the next tier of devolution and the role of skills and investment in regional growth to the regional benefits of the net zero transition and the role that transport can play in connecting ‘left behind’ parts of the UK, the New Statesman's annual Regional Development conference will bring you key insights into the biggest opportunities and challenges of the levelling up strategy and address pressing questions on the future of local growth.
Join us on Thursday 9th May 2024 in Manchester to hear from leaders in policymaking and industry about the future of regional development and network with fellow influential guests.
