A Mountain to Scale: How government can empower start-ups to grow & thrive

The Future Governance Forum is a new progressive, non-partisan think tank. We are here to provide the intellectual and practical infrastructure vital to national renewal and the revival of progressive government in the UK.

The Future Governance Forum

Transforming start-up potential into scale-up success will be crucial to fulfilling the new government’s ambitions for growth.

In opposition, Chancellor Rachel Reeves set out her ambition to make Britain “the best place to start and grow a business.”However, while the UK excels at helping companies get off the ground, they too often struggle when it comes to scaling up. It can take almost twice as long for UK firms to make the critical shift from £10 million in revenue to £100 million as it does for their US counterparts.Over the coming decade, the economy stands to lose out on billions of investment and substantial growth opportunities as high-potential firms are pushed to relocate abroad – unless the government acts to address these barriers.A mountain to scale, the latest report from The Future Governance Forum (FGF) in partnership with BVCA and Boardwave, sets out how Government can unlock greater investment and transform start-up potential into scale-up success—driving growth across the whole economy.Join us online on Thursday 12th December at 12:00 to launch the report. Alongside its author Charlotte Holloway, Policy Associate at FGF, we’ll be joined by speakers including:<ul><li>Kanishka Narayan, Labour MP for the Vale of Glamorgan</li><li>Phill Robinson, CEO, Boardwave</li><li>Karim Palant, Director of External Affairs, BVCA</li><li>Anna Gross, Political correspondent, Financial Times (Chair)</li></ul>Please follow us on BlueSky <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/futuregovforum.bsky.social" title="https://bsky.app/profile/futuregovforum.bsky.social" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@futuregovforum.bsky.social</a> and LinkedIn at <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/98950008/admin/feed/posts/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/company/98950008/admin/feed/posts/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Future Governance Forum (FGF</a>)
