Following the announcement of the UK’s new Industrial Strategy, this year’s conference theme - ‘Leading the delivery of the UK’s Industrial Strategy’ - positions the South West as an industrial powerhouse which is critical to the Government's economic growth ambitions.

As one of the country’s most important regions for clean energy, defence, advanced manufacturing, agricultural technology and innovation, the South West is poised to play a critical role in driving national renewal, attracting investment and creating new, well-paid jobs.
