Sitenna’s Post

I'm honoured and excited to join a panel of experts, led by the incredible Paul Faulkner, at The Midlands Economic Summit next week, where we will explore how the region can attract more investment and seize the opportunities of the new industrial revolution. The Midlands has a rich history of innovation and leadership in sectors like technology, green energy, automotive, and manufacturing. But to maintain its competitive edge in the UK and globally, it needs to be ambitious and proactive. The UK is facing a pivotal moment, and the Midlands can play a key role in shaping its future. However, this requires a serious commitment to investment - both FDI and domestic sources, and from public and private sectors. I believe in Keynesian economics and that government intervention and investment can stimulate growth and recovery, as we have seen in the US market in recent years. I'm looking forward to discussing with my panel how the Midlands can capture this opportunity, and what existing challenges it must overcome. Thank you to Ninder Johal DL and all the team for organising another fantastic line up. June Matte Andrew Cunningham Jason Longhurst TechWM Yiannis Maos MBE
