Complete Details

The Institute of Economic Development (IED) is hosting a high-impact regional seminar in Warrington to address the evolving landscape of local governance and industrial strategy. As the UK shifts toward more localized economic models, this event serves as a critical junction for practitioners, researchers, and policy makers to converge. The session will dive deep into the practicalities of the "Green Book" business case development, ensuring that local projects in the North West are positioned to secure national funding.

Attendees will engage in comprehensive discussions regarding the "Twin Track" model for national growth, focusing specifically on how post-industrial towns like Warrington can leverage their unique geographic and commercial advantages. With a curriculum designed by senior IED board directors, the seminar offers a blend of theoretical frameworks and real-world case studies. Key topics include the integration of housing strategy within economic regeneration and the role of social innovation in transforming community-led development projects. This is an essential gathering for those looking to stay at the forefront of the UK's economic development standards and professional CPD requirements.
