The Summit

One day.The most importantquestions.

We bring together senior policy-makers, business leaders, and global thought-leaders in an interdisciplinary format to tackle the most pressing questions of the day.

Our summits end with tangible takeaways for government and industry.

What was covered
  • Economy

    How can the cost of living crisis and inflation be overcome? What are the causes of the ‘productivity puzzle’? What fiscal policy measures should the government implement?

  • Politics & Governance

    Are we witnessing the last days of the two-party system? What are the causes of rising political polarisation and how can it be addressed? What can be done to restore trust in government?

  • Technology

    What does the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) mean for British businesses and the economy? And what should be done to bolster the U.K.’s position as a leader in technology?

  • National Security

    How should the U.K. position itself within NATO? What cybersecurity challenges are businesses and the government facing and what should be done about them?

  • Business & Finance

    How can government promote innovation, enterprise, and start-up formation in the U.K.?

  • International Relations

    In a post-Brexit world, what role should the UK seek to carve out for itself?

The Founder
“I wanted to create aforum that brings thecountry's leading thinkerstogether to discuss itsbiggest challenges - anddevelop ideas on howthey might be solved.”

And I wanted to set that discussion in a venue that reminded us that, whatever difficulties the country may face, it's overcome greater.

That's why the first annual summit was set in the War Rooms from which Winston Churchill directed the country's military & government during one of its most trying periods - World War II.
