Description
As Brexit negotiations are still taking place, how are firms innovating to ensure they remain open for business?
Hear the latest results of the Doncaster Business Insight Survey for Quarter 4 2018 presented by Lee Tillman (Doncaster Council) against a backdrop of the local and national economy.
Keynote speaker Matt Willey from Drax will discuss how the power company is adapting to the emerging decentralised, digitised and decarbonised energy economy and what the opportunities for businesses might be.
Join in a panel debate with other local businesses, on how they are innovating to access new markets and adapt to the changing climate and economy.
Panellists include:
Rebecca Leam - Head of Policy & Communications - Doncaster Chamber
This promises to be an insightful morning into Doncaster's current business climate and economy.
Please join us from 8:00am for networking over breakfast and to be seated by 8:30am.
