Dec 20, 2021, 11:27 AM

On the 30th of November and 1st of December 2021, the IWA held a two-day summit on the future of the Welsh economy. In this episode, our policy team, Will Henson, Harry Thompson, and Dr Jack Watkins, look back on the event and discuss some of its key moments.

The first section looks at our Q&As with Vaughan Gething MS, Minister for Economy in the Welsh Government, and Neil O’Brien MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Levelling Up, The Union and Constitution at the Department for Levelling Up. 

We then move on to the panels that made up the event. The discussion looks at the UK Government’s Levelling Up agenda, decarbonisation and the everyday economy, and the consequences of COP26 for the future of the Welsh economy.

As mentioned at the end of the episode, you can now read our latest report What Does Levelling Up Mean for Wales? on our website.
