Along with Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, Glasgow is one of the “big four” UK cities outside London, capable of becoming a global hub for tomorrow’s growth sectors.
Joined by some of the UK’s leading economic thinkers, we will use this event to discuss the ingredients Glasgow needs to become a significant engine of growth for the Scottish and UK economies.
Panel includes:
- Gordon Brown, Former Prime Minister
- Lord Sainsbury, Founder of Centre for Cities
- Tony Danker, Director General, CBI
Glasgow today has an economy that is underperforming the European average for growth and productivity and has a smaller voice within both the British and Scottish growth debates than a city of its stature should. How do we turn this around?
Glasgow needs a bold and ambitious plan to build its economy, ensuring increased prosperity is shared equitably across all communities in Glasgow, especially young people and those on the lowest incomes.
