We are a Westminster-based forum bringing together parliamentarians, government officials, investors, businesses, academics and international organisations to explore how the UK can improve conditions for long-term sustainable growth.
Many of the UK’s most significant policy priorities are closely interconnected and increasingly linked to wider questions of resilience and sustainability. Securing long-term prosperity depends on joined-up policymaking that recognises the role of issues such as energy security, nature, workforce participation and transparency in supporting sustainable growth.
As a forum, we address these issues, examining the existing and emerging policy landscape alongside the solutions being developed across the private sector. Our roundtables encourage connected policymaking and long-term economic planning with a keen focus on nurturing innovation and strengthening UK competitiveness.
Insights from the Group’s discussions are distilled into accessible reports and briefings, facilitating further engagement with policymakers across Westminster and Whitehall. Together, the Group’s discussions, publications and engagement activities provide a valuable platform for organisations to contribute to policy development and delivery, supporting informed decision-making.
