Britain has the potential to build the high-growth industries of the future. But businesses are hamstrung by record industrial energy prices and the UK’s stifling web of environmental and planning regulations that make investment impossible.

In September Onward launched Reindustrialising Britain: The case for industrial zones, endorsed by Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen, calling for new, low-regulation zones with leapfrogged access to the grid, with new economic powers for Metro Mayors, outside the South East. Join Onward for this event with Ben Houchen to hear the case for radical regulatory overhaul, turbocharged investment and reindustrialising the UK.
