Using data from 2008–2024, he shows that sustaining South Gloucestershire’s lead requires continued investment in workforce skills, local innovation, and place-based strategies.The session highlights priorities for building stronger technical and higher-level skills pipelines, leveraging high-value sectors to generate wider productivity spillovers, and improving regional connectivity to ensure that economic success is sustainable, inclusive, and widely shared across the West of England.https://youtu.be/74HWCnIhRyM https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/cb143ca0-c40f-11f0-aa12-1bc58e46eb9e-rimg-w740-h740-dcfefefe-gmir.png - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bristol/closing-the-productivity-gap-skills-and-growth/100001967783092200 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fclosing-the-productivity-gap-skills-and-growth-tickets-1967783092200 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Bristol - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: UWE Enterprise 1 - BS34 8RB - **lat**: 51.501514 - **long**: -2.5521012 - **full address**: UWE Enterprise 1 - BS34 8RB, UWE Enterprise 1, Bristol, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: County Business Shows Ltd (https://allevents.in/org/county-business-shows-ltd/22552422) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/00cbae238ece19e442624d7914c66ca1f800ea13b0854b9d547ac628652ce148-rimg-w1200-h601-dc018d97-gmir.png?v=1763423297 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/182894756d4490e013d3997e09c916136bd2ecad2a93a39579320f9b21214197-rimg-w400-h400-dc008d97-gmir.png?v=1763423297 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?
