Your chance to get involved in the biggest commercial conversation in a generation. Join us in Manchester 25th & 26th February 2016 to explore the commercial realities and opportunities of the UK Northern Powerhouse and to determine ways that your business can develop more trade through the UK Northern Powerhouse concept.
The event is brought to you by business for business. It is supported by the Chief Executives of all the major cities of the North of England and is backed by the Chairman of the Local Enterprise Partnerships. This will be the largest gathering of business leaders dedicated to the Northern Powerhouse following the government s Autumn Statement on 25 November in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will set out government plans for growing the economy of the region. It is the chance for business leaders to respond in kind with practical action to show how business can shape this agenda. Come along in February and be an opinion shaper and lead the changes necessary to rebalance the UK economy, secure the prosperity of the North of England and drive the growth of regional business.
