Along with Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, Glasgow is one of the “big four” UK cities outside London, capable of becoming a global hub for tomorrow’s growth sectors.

Joined by some of the UK’s leading economic thinkers, we will use this event to discuss the ingredients Glasgow needs to become a significant engine of growth for the Scottish and UK economies. 

Panel includes:

• Gordon Brown, Former Prime Minister
• Lord Sainsbury, Founder of Centre for Cities
• Tony Danker, Director General, CBI
• Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader, Glasgow City Council

Glasgow today has an economy that is underperforming the European average for growth and productivity and has a smaller voice within both the British and Scottish growth debates than a city of its stature should. How do we turn this around?

We will also be joined by panellists:

• Stuart Patrick CBE – Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
• Gillian Docherty OBE – University of Strathclyde
• Jim McColl OBE – Clyde Blowers Capital
• Declan Doogan – Biohaven Pharmaceuticals
• Dr Susie Mitchell – Glasgow City of Science and Innovation
• Pete Finan – Epidarex Capital
• Judith Cruikshank - Royal Bank of Scotland
• Henry Stannard - Coalesce Capital Advisors

Glasgow needs a bold and ambitious plan to build its economy, ensuring increased prosperity is shared equitably across all communities in Glasgow, especially young people and those on the lowest incomes.
