Lunchtime Briefing with Jess Glover, Director General, Growth and Productivity, HM Treasury
Join us for this lunchtime briefing exploring how to boost growth and productivity across the UK
The government has outlined a clear ambition to unlock stronger, more sustainable growth and to reverse a decade of weak productivity performance. A broad agenda spans infrastructure delivery, clean energy transition, business investment and economic security combined with a more active approach to partnership with industry. Delivering on the ambition will depend not only on policy design but coordinated, cross-sector collaboration and execution that aligns capital, capability and place.
Join this briefing to hear:
- How the government’s priorities such as the Industrial Strategy, infrastructure investment and technology adoption can tackle weak productivity growth
- What effective cross-sector collaborations look like in practice to deliver at pace and scale
- How delivery across infrastructure, clean energy and business investment can reinforce economic security while supporting sustainable, long-term growth.
