The break-up for the summer holiday creates an opportunity to reflect on the year so far and refocus energy on the coming months. We’ve been doing just that here in the North East, and it certainly feels like we’ve made strides forward, but certain key challenges continue to dominate and occupy the mind.
I'm also excited about our Autumn schedule, and in particular CBI's Conference,Economic Growth - The Energy Opportunity, on the 9 October. The event will focus on how the north can lead the UK’s efforts to compete in the growing international market for low carbon technologies. Members benefit from a complimentary ticket.
