Business and government have a defining choice to make. If we want the UK to be the most dynamic, competitive and future-focused economy globally, now is the time to act. To seize the moment.
The CBI has an ambitious vision for this economy. A healthier, more diverse, greener and innovation-rich economy. One we can all thrive in.
We urge government to get there – by being the voice of business’ ideas, challenges and needs. And we help businesses get there too – with insight, intelligence and practical guidance.
