To help with the continued development of the UK Northern Powerhouse we have now set up an Advisory Board chaired by Lord Kerslake.
The conference has also become an ‘aggregator’ for the work being done on the Northern Powerhouse by many other bodies; therefore, we are providing a platform for them to discuss their work at the conference – including:
- UK Government’s Northern Powerhouse Partnership Programme
- Northern Powerhouse Partnership, led by George Osborne MP
- Business North
- Institute of Directors
- Confederation of British Industry
- The Federation for Small Businesses
- IPPR North, and many others
In the Conference this year we have sessions on:
- The Northern Powerhouse in the Post-Brexit era
- Delivery and Finance
- Competitiveness and Productivity
- Air and Road
- Ports and Rail
- Powering the Powerhouse
- Manufacturing the Powerhouse, and
- Big Data
Why Attend?
- Be informed; understand the scale and extent of the opportunities in the Northern Powerhouse
- Listen and learn; from Public (Central and Regional Government) and Private Sector Leaders
- Gain valuable insights into the vision and ambitions of many “Blue Chip” businesses
- Network with the key players, potential business partners and stakeholders in the Northern Powerhouse economy
