Global challenges are focusing the minds of leaders across the world: tackling climate change, delivering a successful energy transition, navigating rising trade tensions and AI’s potential (positive and negative) for drastic change.
How can UK business and government chart a course through these challenges and improve our economic fortunes? Is growth the solution, and if so, where does it come from?
Economist and Chief Executive of the Confederation of British Industry Rain Newton Smith works with business and government to answer these questions. In this evening’s event she will reflect on the qualities decision makers need to weather the unpredictable economic storms ahead and on her own leadership experience representing the business community in the UK.
This is the second talk in a new termly series of discussions with industry leaders and policymakers, run jointly by the Oxford Martin School and the Saïd Business School.
The talk will be followed by a drinks reception.
