This panel aims to demonstrate the breadth of the regional economic growth story. City and Regional leaders discuss the economic ambitions and growth prospects of their cities, while investors and market commentators respond, and provide broader national, and global context. This year is unprecedented on many levels, delivering political and economic uncertainty. But at this time of political and economic reconfiguration it is boldness, innovation and self-assuredness that will stand out. How are cities and regions showcasing these attributes?
