The event is being organised by the Centre for Local Economic Strategies in partnership with Barrow Cadbury Trust and hosted by City-REDI, University of Birmingham.
Overview
Local wealth building is no longer an ‘alternative’ but a guiding principle of the new economic model and movement gaining momentum across the UK.
This summit seeks to showcase, inspire and galvanise collaborative action on local wealth building.
Acknowledging the focus on progressive procurement and the role of anchor institutions to date, this event aims to broaden the local wealth building agenda for the UK moving forward.
It will explore pioneering examples from Preston, Birmingham and Manchester, among others while setting out the wider context and scale of what has been achieved elsewhere, and what is possible here.
