Economic Growth and Prosperity

Economic growth and prosperity

At WIG, collaborating to support economic growth and prosperity across the UK sits at the very centre of dialogue between the public, private and not-for-profit sector.

The ongoing cost-of-living crisis, productivity challenges, and rapidly evolving technological, geopolitical and societal context all demand collaboration to guarantee a prosperous United Kingdom. We create a trusted platform for senior officials, business leaders, academics, and not-for-profits to discuss and identify solutions around economic recovery and growth.

Exclusive events and content in the economic growth and prosperity theme focus on:

  • UK-wide inclusive growth 
  • R&D, innovation, and regulation
  • Skills and productivity
  • Procurement and outsourcing
  • Economic and financial outlooks

To drive the agenda, we gather feedback from across our membership and are supported by the economic growth and prosperity advisory council.
