Local growth is the engine of national renewal and innovation is its fuel. At the Connected Places Summit, explore how place-based innovation is unlocking opportunity, levelling up communities, and driving inclusive economic growth.
From devolution and investment zones to innovation ecosystems and skills, we’re shining a light on the places leading with ambition and action. This is where councils, combined authorities, anchor institutions and SMEs come together to build local economies that are resilient, dynamic, and future-ready.
