About this Event

In this exclusive fireside chat Ben Houchen, Mayor of the Tees Valley, sits down with Rain Newton-Smith, Chief Executive of the Confederation of British Industry, to explore how regional leadership and business can work together to unlock transformational growth.

As devolved powers reshape the economic landscape, mayors are playing an increasingly pivotal role in attracting investment, accelerating regeneration and delivering the infrastructure that underpins productivity. This dynamic discussion will examine how mayoral authorities are driving capital into their regions, how the private sector can actively support and benefit from regional growth strategies, and how stronger partnerships between industry, local leaders and Whitehall can create the enabling infrastructure Britain needs to compete.

Don’t miss out on one of the most influential conversations shaping the UK’s economic future.
