Transforming Markets in a High Impact Policy Environment
Host: Dr Nick Eyre - Emeritus Professor

Info: Dr Eyre shares his own experiences and reflections on how political driven
markets can build sustainably and with confidence.Bringing multiple decades of
working in the public policy context, we will hear about previous Government
successes through the Market Transformation Programme and how we can bring
supply chains together to build ‘industrial strength’ energy whilst taking
customers on a well-defined and easy to understand journey. Is it light or heavy
touch dependent?

Transforming markets in a high impact policy environment.

The reality of manufacturing planning and investment.

Panel: Preparing for Electrification – an update from the practitioners


🕑: 10:40 AM - 11:00 AM
The Reality of Manufacturing Planning and Investment
Host: Emma Griffiths - Policy Advisor, Make UK

Info: A common soundbite from many industrial leaders is that Government and its
delivery framework does not understand the business of manufacturing,
particularly in the context of the timescales and strategic confidence required
to release investment for product and/or market development. Do levies and
market mechanisms work? To what extent are political or regulatory promises
decisive for budgeting? Does the manufacturing sector trust regulations and
policy ambitions anymore? We reflect on these questions from the coal face of
UK manufacturing representation.


🕑: 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Accelerating Electrification

Info: An update from practitioners building on our keynote speeches and reflecting on their own market experience, culminating on their ‘one key factor for success’ closing remark.


🕑: 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Energy Networks Sector Growth Plan
Host: Cordi O’Hara OBE FEI, President, -National Grid Electric

Info: BEAMA and ENA have published the Electricity Networks Sector Growth Plan
this Autumn. Representing an unprecedented move to support investment
across the supply chain for Electricity Networks as we drive forward an
ambitious program for the UK Industrial Strategy. Re-industrialisation is firmly
on the Government’s agenda and BEAMA’s supply chain sits at the heart of it.
Join us in a rare and significant moment as the co-chairs of the Growth Plan
steering group sit for a fire side chat to discuss the work conducted so far and
plans for a robust delivery program that will support growth across all of
BEAMAs membership.
