Themes

What The Policy Programme Covers

Six areas where the decisions made now determine what can be built over the next decade.

Digital economy
The rules, rails and incentives that decide how quickly digital businesses can be built and scaled.
AI policy
How artificial intelligence is adopted, governed and taught — and what that means for jobs and public services.
Talent and skills
Education, training and the pipeline between universities and the companies hiring from them.
Innovation policy
Support for research, entrepreneurship and the institutions that back early-stage risk.
Public-private partnerships
Where government and industry build together, and what makes those partnerships actually work.
Trust, data and security
Data protection, digital identity and the trust infrastructure a digital economy depends on.

Formats

Some of this belongs on a stage. Some of it works far better in a closed room.

On-stage discussions between policymakers, founders and industry leaders.
Closed roundtables
Smaller, candid sessions where specific problems can be worked through properly.
Briefings and contributions
Structured input from the ecosystem into the questions government is actively working on.
