Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has launched Business Connect, a new conference that aims to create a platform for businesses to engage with the government.
The event, which launched 24 April, allowed industry leaders and investors to hold discussions with Government ministers across several different industries.
More than 200 CEOs and c-suite business leaders gathered at Kings Place, London, representing sectors including tech, life sciences and advanced manufacturing.
Sunak said: “Business Connect provides the next fantastic opportunity to demonstrate how we are growing the economy. We are bringing together some of the UK’s biggest companies and investors for meaningful dialogue.
“Since taking office, I’ve spoken to over 1,000 business people – because they are the innovators and change-makers at the heart of our economy, supporting jobs, attracting investment and driving growth.”
