Downtown in Business (DIB), in partnership with the West Midlands Combined Authority, will host a high-profile Parliamentary Reception on Monday 15th September to showcase the region’s ambitious Economic Growth Strategy.
The event, which will take place on the iconic Terrace at the House of Commons, will bring together senior business leaders, investors, and policymakers from across Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton and the wider City-Region.
Mayor of the West Midlands, Richard Parker, will outline his bold vision for driving investment, innovation, and inclusive growth across the region, positioning the West Midlands as a national powerhouse for economic development.
The reception will also provide a platform for businesses to engage directly with MPs, Ministers, and key decision-makers about the opportunities and challenges ahead.
The group chair and chief executive of Downtown in Business, Frank McKenna, said:
“The West Midlands is entering an exciting new era under Richard Parker’s leadership – and we’re delighted to bring our national network of business leaders to Parliament to hear his ambitious plans first-hand. At Downtown, we believe it’s vital that businesses are part of the conversation about the future of our cities and regions – and this reception will be the perfect forum for forging those crucial connections between the private sector and policymakers.”
“The West Midlands has always been a driver of innovation and growth. Now it has a mayor and a strategy that can really deliver for the region – and for UK Plc.”
