In her Mansion House speech in July, the Chancellor set out her ambition to boost investment and drive growth across the whole of the UK by building on regional strengths and financial services clusters.  

The North has a thriving financial services sector spanning banking, payments, fintech and insurance and is a key hub for innovation and growth. With the presence of national and international financial institutions including the FCA and the Bank of England, there are many opportunities for growth and investment for UK and international businesses in the region.  

Join us on Friday 24 October at Aspire in Leeds to explore how we can support growth and investment opportunities in financial services across the North.

The forum will feature:-

• A keynote speech from a senior government representative
• A panel discussion with local government and industry leaders
• An exhibition where you can explore support available to grow
• An optional 'mini-sprint', exploring how industry and regulators can work together to facilitate growth in the region

We are seeking registrations from senior managers and above across the financial services sector based in the North of England. To ensure that we can have as broad attendance as possible we will be limiting participants to a maximum of two per organisation.

The event will primarily be of interest to: 

• Firms, fintechs, banks, building societies, mutual and friendly societies  
• Professional services and consultancy firms  
• Industry bodies and consumer groups  
• Regional policymakers and regulators
• Investors interested in UK financial services and FinTech opportunities in the North

RSVP by 16 October. We will confirm places no later than 17 October. We aim to accommodate as many attendees as possible, while ensuring a balance of stakeholders.
