Join the New Statesman and AstraZeneca for an evening of networking, drinks and conversation with leaders from government and business on Thursday 19 November 2026, at The Conduit, London.
The Prime Minister has called for a new partnership between government and business to reindustrialise the country to deliver growth in every postcode. Yet major challenges remain. High energy costs, skills shortages and regulatory barriers continue to constrain investment and growth.
The discussion will explore how government and business can work together to unlock investment, boost competitiveness and deliver growth across the UK.
The panel discussion will be followed by networking drinks, offering guests the opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with fellow leaders.
