Britain is asking its business leaders and entrepreneurs to rise to the challenge and play a part in leading the country's economic resurgence. In a new bold initiative, the UK government and business leaders are challenging innovators, founders, and investors to focus their resources, energy, and ingenuity on supporting British businesses, infrastructure, and employment.
Key points of this release:
The government’s latest initiative, the Mansion House Accord, has secured commitments from seventeen of the UK’s largest workplace pension providers to invest up to £50 billion into the British economy by 2030. These funds will be directed toward infrastructure, clean energy, property, and private equity, with at least £25 billion earmarked specifically for UK-based projects. This move aims to foster growth, create jobs, and strengthen the country’s economic resilience.
The Accord doubles earlier targets for pension investment in domestic and unlisted companies, indicating a more aggressive strategy for releasing capital for British enterprise and innovation. Pension investors are likely to derive greater diversification and possibly higher returns, while the wider economy benefits from greater support for science, startups, and technology.
The government's Plan for Change is also supported by new trade deals with India and the US, worth billions of extra value to the UK economy and protecting vital manufacturing jobs. They are part of a broader plan to make Britain a world leader in business and innovation.
Business awards and recognition schemes, including the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, are shining the spotlight on exceptional entrepreneurs from all industries, inspiring more to come forward and help shape the country's growth narrative. The awards want to drive the profiles of visionary leaders, offering them the recognition and guidance to grow their businesses.
Government officials point out that this is the time when Britain's entrepreneurial community can show leadership, resilience, and ambition. By supporting Britain, entrepreneurs can take the lead in defining the next stage of the nation's economic success.
