- **Event Description**: This event showcases The Productivity Institute’s research on what drives UK productivity and how to achieve inclusive, sustainable growth.About this EventJoin us at Manchester Central Library for a  event to showcase The Productivity Institute’s seven integrated research programmes, designed to strengthen the UK’s evidence base on what drives productivity, what holds it back and how it can be improved.The research combines large-scale data analysis, international comparison and firm- and place-based case studies to address persistent challenges such as skills mismatches, weak investment, uneven regional performance and the slow diffusion of knowledge and innovation.Structured around the themes of People, Firms, and Institutions and the Economic System, the programmes explore how productivity improvements can deliver better outcomes in practice. They examine how skills are developed and used, how firms manage digital and net-zero transitions and new business models, and how finance, governance and spatial policy shape long-term growth across places.Together, the programmes aim to generate practical insights for policymakers, businesses and regional leaders seeking inclusive and sustainable productivity growth.What to ExpectPresentationsHear from experts introducing The Productivity Institute’s seven research programmes, each addressing a key set of challenges shaping UK productivity.Mary O’Mahony - TPI Research Director and Professor of Applied Economics, King’s Business School, King's College LondonStephen Roper - Professor of Enterprise at the University of Warwick and Director of the Enterprise Research CentrePhilip McCann - Sir Terry Leahy Chair of Urban and Regional Economics at Alliance Manchester Business School, The University of ManchesterPaul Mizen - Professor in Economics and Vice Dean, Research, King’s Business School, King's College LondonPolicy PanelEngage with national partners discussing how policy and practice can support inclusive, sustainable and impactful productivity growth.Diane Coyle - Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of CambridgeAnton Muscatelli - President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and Distinguished Honorary Professor, Adam Smith Business SchoolAnna Valero - Professor in Practice and Director of the Growth Programme at the CEP, London School of EconomicsThe event will be moderated by Bart van Ark, TPI Managing Director and Professor of Productivity Studies, Alliance Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester.Agenda:1:30-2:00: Welcome refreshments and networking2:00-3:30: Presentations3:30-4:00: Break4:00-4:45: Policy panel discussion and Q&amp;A4:45-5:30: Refreshments and networkingPlease note, a copy of the summary report of the TPI research of the past two years will be available at the event.Networking DrinksContinue the conversation over teas and coffees at the end of the event.
