Navigating the United Kingdom's New Political Era

-

With the recent transition to a Labour majority government after 14 years of Conservative administration, the United Kingdom has entered into a new political contract likely to make a significant impact on its investment landscape. This panel will parse the current state of foreign direct investment in the UK and the opportunities and challenges that exist in light of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s promise to ensure Britain is “open for business.” Bringing together insights from key government representatives, investment professionals, and industry leaders, this session will explore green investment opportunities, sectors with high growth potential, and the broader implications of policy shifts for international investors. Panelists will review the regulatory environment under the new government.
