About the event
Speakers: Emily Wallace, Managing Director, Inflect
The election resulted in a decisive win for Labour. Sir Keir Starmer enters Downing Street with a huge majority and in a position to govern on his chosen agenda for the next five years.
The coming days and weeks will see significant changes, starting with the appointment of the new Cabinet and Ministerial teams. A flurry of announcements from the new Government will seek to demonstrate change from the outgoing administration, and action on Labour's key campaign promises. Look out for measures on economic stability, clean energy, law and order, and schools and hospitals - but also on tech, digital, and data.
To break down the key changes and what they mean for your business and the tech sector more broadly, Boardwave's public affairs advisers Inflect Partners will be hosting a webinar on 18 July, the day after the King’s Speech. They will provide a briefing and be available to answer your questions on key issues including:
- The election result, and the new decision makers in government for tech
- The new government’s major manifesto and policy priorities for the sector
- What happens next: The new government’s first 100 days, and beyond
- Boardwave’s public affairs activity to date and upcoming plans
- Your priorities - what do you want Boardwave’s public affairs strategy to focus on?
- How Boardwave members can get involved
