The Government will soon publish its new industrial strategy, but will it benefit people, places and industries in the North?
This is a key question that the Industrial Strategy Commission, a new inquiry jointly run by SPERI, set out to answer.
On November 1st the Commission will publish its Final Report. Join us a week later on Thursday November 9th for a major public event in Sheffield to discuss its findings and to hear from a leading Labour politician about industrial strategy.
Rebecca Long-Bailey MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and a member of Labour’s Shadow Cabinet, will outline Labour’s industrial strategy plans. Dr Craig Berry, SPERI’s Deputy Director, and a member of the Industrial Strategy Commission will present the Commission’s key findings. An audience Q&A will follow with Rebecca Long-Bailey, Craig Berry and Sheffield business leaders taking part in the panel discussion.
We hope you can join us for this public debate and have your say.
