Tracks

Transport

Whether you're designing the future of rail, decarbonising freight, or reimagining the passenger journey, our Summit will connect you to the people, knowledge, and collaborations that drive real-world change.

Built Environment

This is where local authorities meet innovators, where SMEs meet investors, and where construction meets creativity. We’ll spotlight the breakthroughs, large and small, that are enabling more sustainable, affordable, and people-centred environments.

Local Growth

We’ll spotlight real-world programmes where innovation is helping to decarbonise local industries, and bringing digital infrastructure into underserved areas. Expect insights into new funding models, smarter public procurement, and the role of civic leadership in delivering change.

Data & Digital

This is where technologists, policymakers, and place leaders come together to discuss not just innovation, but trust, governance, cyber resilience, and the infrastructure needed to keep our systems future-proof and connected.
