Delivering the ambition for a greener, healthier and more prosperous Thames Valley

The Thames Valley has an impressive standing as one of the most successful business locations in Europe, and yet our business community is not immune to the challenges and uncertain environment in which we are all working in.

This Conference is part of our role to ensure that the Thames Valley works together as a region to develop a growth plan, co-developed between business, educators and civic leaders.  The Chamber has a unique convening power to help co-develop solutions for a greener, healthier and more prosperous region and we invite you to be part of that conversation.

Open to all businesses, this Conference forms part of our work to future proof the success of our business community.  Join us to learn more about how we can deliver solutions to the challenges facing the new Government and the UK.
