Good jobs and regional growth: Building inclusive innovation systems

As powers are devolved to local leaders, how can we build inclusive innovation systems that support good jobs and regional growth?

In this period of both rapid technological transformation and persistent sluggish growth, it is more important than ever that we focus on how innovation can deliver for people right across the UK.

With AI Growth Zones, Industrial Strategy Zones and more powers being devolved to regions, new opportunities are coming to build regional innovation ecosystems that support local economic development and sustain good work.

But how practically can these opportunities be leveraged?

This latest session of the APPG on the Future of Work will bring together parliamentarians, regional leaders and policy experts to examine this hugely important question around the renewal of regional innovation, and expansion of access to good work.

The panel will consider what safeguards are needed to ensure consistency and fair standards across the country, and how national and regional leaders can work together to deliver inclusive growth.

This event will be hosted by Lord Knight of Weymouth, co-chair of the APPG on the Future of Work. It will be held at Warwick Business School on Level 17 of The Shard.
