Join us for the second in our series of regional events exploring what the Levelling Up programme means in reality for local economic growth around the country, this time focusing on West Yorkshire.
Join us for ‘Realising Regional Growth: What next for West Yorkshire?’ at Leeds’ Royal Armouries– the second in a new series of regional events exploring what the Levelling Up programme means in reality for local economic growth around the country.
Keynote speakers:
Panel speakers:
More speakers to be announced.
The half-day conference will bring together national and regional politicians, academics and business leaders to discuss how West Yorkshire can build on existing strengths, as well as developing new ones, in order to harness opportunities presented by the Levelling Up agenda, and maximise growth not just across the region, but across the whole UK.
The recently published Levelling Up White Paper sets out the Government’s ambition for all places to achieve their productivity potential, supporting economic growth and improvements in living standards across the UK. But what does this mean in practice for West Yorkshire’s cities, whose success are critical to a more prosperous region and country? Will a renewed focus on supporting innovation, research and development in the city region drive growth and prosperity for local people? And what future devolution deals should the city region be seeking, if it is to have the powers and funding to realise its full economic potential?
The event is free to attend, but places are limited, so please register using the link below.
