Join the GC Insight Briefing the day after the 2026 Budget for a briefing on the implications of the Chancellor’s announcements and what they mean for economic development, business and skills growth and place-based policy across the UK.
Drawing on the latest policy developments, economic intelligence and our own analysis, this webinar will explore the key measures announced in the Budget, the wider agenda of the UK Government, and the potential opportunities and challenges for local authorities, combined authorities, economic development organisations and business support providers.
We’ll examine what the Budget means for local growth priorities, investment, skills, business support, infrastructure, regeneration and devolution. Attendees will gain an early understanding of the practical implications for places and economies across the UK, helping them respond to emerging policy changes and funding opportunities.

- Insight into how Government policy priorities are evolving and what this means for places
- Analysis of the potential implications for local growth, regeneration, business support and investment
