Eastern Powerhouse is hosting a free online event on Tuesday 25 February to help local businesses understand and prepare for upcoming devolution changes.
Why it matters: The shift to devolved governance will bring major changes for local businesses, including the potential for faster localised decision-making on economic policies, new funding opportunities for workforce development, and closer relationships with policymakers who shape regional strategies.
Businesses that engage during this transition period will be best positioned to secure funding, influence decisions and drive growth.
The details: The webinar, "Devolution in the East: Opportunities, Challenges, and What It Means for Business", will take place at 14:00 this Tuesday.
Expert panellists include:
Kevin Craig, CEO of PLMR, the parent company of PLMR Genesis, East of England's largest communications agency
Trevor Holden, Managing Director of Broadland District Council and South Norfolk Councils
Mark Morrin, Head of Research at Eastern Powerhouse
The discussion will explore:
Impact of postponed local elections
The road to mayoral governance
Potential risks and opportunities for local businesses
Lessons from other devolved regions
The bottom line: The webinar aims to help local businesses understand how devolution could affect their operations, how they can engage with policymakers to shape the region's economic future and how they can best place their business for future growth.
