About this Event

, the , , and are teaming up to host this important policy discussion for British SMEs on the Opening Day at Conservative Party Conference. Open to all delegates.

Business leaders understand a fundamental truth: sustainable economic growth is created by enterprise, investment, and innovation - not by government alone. The role of government is to create the conditions in which businesses can succeed by reducing unnecessary barriers, supporting entrepreneurs, and opening up markets.

As the UK's relationship with Europe continues to evolve, there are practical opportunities to strengthen trade, reduce friction for exporters, and improve the competitiveness of British businesses - particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This discussion will focus on how policymakers and business can work together to unlock those opportunities while ensuring the UK remains a confident, outward-looking global trading nation.

The panel will explore how a future Conservative government can champion exporters, help SMEs access markets, remove unnecessary obstacles to trade, and create the conditions for long-term, sustainable growth. It will also consider how stronger commercial links with European partners can support investment, jobs, and prosperity across the UK.

More soon.
