shared their visions for the post-pandemic recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The virtual conference had 22 sessions, 84 speakers, hundreds of attendees, and thousands of connections, ideas and opportunities shared.<\/p>\n<p>The thread which has been woven through all of that was the desire and commitment to be part of how collectively the North can accelerate progress.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

generations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Collaboration has been spoken about almost as much as Covid, which demonstrates how important partnerships will be in driving the post-pandemic recovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is clear that the North is brimming with opportunities and optimism and there is a unity to work together to help everyone fulfil their potential.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Invest
