The Eastern Growth Summit

The Eastern Growth Summit promises to be one of the most exciting political events of the year. As mainstream political parties vie for dominance in the political battleground of Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and Essex, Onward’s one-day conference will ignite engaging debates and bold ideas to drive a new era of growth. Join us for a dynamic set of events which will drive the future of regional growth in East Anglia – and the UK.

From housing to energy, infrastructure to connectivity, we’ll discuss the issues which will win the hearts and minds of the next generation of voters from King’s Lynn to Ipswich, Cambridge to Colchester.

• Panel 1: Energy abundance in the East
• Panel 2: The first step: how to get young people onto the housing ladder
• Panel 3: Levelling up infrastructure – connecting East Anglia and beyond
• Panel 4: Local Government – Evolving Mayoral Powers

Each event will be chaired by an Onward team member. Onward is the UK’s leading centre-right think tank. Each panel discussion will last for an hour, and questions from the Chair as well as the audience will be taken.
