Looking at the CBI’s engagement with mayoral candidates, our Programme for prosperity for London, and our representation of business needs.
On 7 May 2020, Londoners will head to the polls to elect the next Mayor of London. As the capital continues to be the international gateway into the UK and the home of European business, strengthening London’s business environment will be essential to, not only London’s prosperity, but the prosperity of the UK as a whole.
Since 2019, the CBI has been engaging with members and mayoral candidates (and their campaign teams) to highlight the business agenda for the next mayoral term. And demonstrating how business can help support the Mayor of London with their ambitions for the capital, helping to build long-term solutions to long-term problems, protect and grow London’s competitive advantage and solve the capital's most pressing social issues.
Recent developments and next steps
Following extensive member consultation between December 2019 and March 2020, the CBI will publicly launch our Programme for prosperity - The business agenda for London, on Thursday 19 March.
