The one-day event is built around five themes – international, place, funding and investment, the war for talent, and innovation – giving a real focus to the key issues and opportunities that will shape the economic future of the North.
Sessions will allow attendees to get the very latest thinking on inward investment, the housing challenge, transport connectivity, investing in Northern companies, the talent arms race, freeports, the reinvention of towns, life sciences and much, much more.
