The summit took place on Tuesday 17th July and sought to showcase, inspire and galvanise collaborative action on local wealth building.
Acknowledging the focus on progressive procurement and the role of anchor institutions to date, this event aimed to broaden the local wealth building agenda for the UK moving forward.

The event included presentations and panel discussions from a range of speakers, as well as interactive workshops on topics including:
- Unlocking the power of procurement
- Municipal enterprise
- Inclusive economic strategy
- Democratising local wealth ownership
This one-day summit was hosted by the University of Birmingham and was organised by the Centre for Local Economic Strategies in partnership with Barrow Cadbury Trust.
