South Yorkshire Economic Summit Wednesday 9 March 2022

SOUTH YORKSHIRE ECONOMIC SUMMIT 2022

Together we can renew South Yorkshire’s economy.

On the 9 March 2022 South Yorkshire held an Economic Summit that brought together the brightest thinkers from across the country, the best businesses, entrepreneurs, research institutes and anchor institutions for a day of debate and ideation.  

Our shared goal is renewal for our region; we will only achieve it by working together. This event brought momentum, securing the commitments we must all make to turn our shared ambitions into reality for people and communities.  

With keynotes from Andy Haldane, the Head of the UK Government’s Levelling Up Taskforce and former Mayor Dan Jarvis MP MBE and contributions from the leading thinkers from the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government, who have been supporting work within the region, and who include members of the Government’s new Levelling Up Council, we explored the key growth drivers for our region, and the actions we can take to unlock them.
