Levelling up – a national mission?

The government’s ‘Levelling-Up’ White Paper provided an in-depth assessment of the regional inequalities which have hamstrung the UK’s economic potential for generations. It offered a blueprint for how government can be rewired, and how the private sector can be activated, to power long-term prosperity for every community across the nation. But does this strategy go far enough and how does business need to respond?

Join Ahmed Goga (Director of Regional Policy & Clusters, CBI) and Stephanie Hyde (Chief Executive Officer, JLL and Chair of the CBI’s new Thriving Regions & Nations board) for an expert discussion, including:

– An introduction to the CBI’s rapidly expanding ‘Thriving Regions & Nations’ programme and why this is a key moment in our economic history
– An update on the current political environment, including the ‘levelling-up’ agenda and shortages, and what this means for regions and nations across the UK
– Key opportunities for CBI members to get involved in the new Thriving Regions & Nations programme.
