Britain and Europe: Unlocking International Trade and Growth

6:00pm - 7:30pm · Andante, Hyatt Regency Birmingham

We hosted this panel and drinks with the Conservative European Forum, Hanns Seidel Foundation, and Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

Business leaders understand a fundamental truth: growth is driven by enterprise, investment, and innovation. Government's role is to create the conditions for success by reducing barriers, supporting entrepreneurs, and opening markets. As the UK's relationship with Europe evolves, we explored how a future Conservative government can help SMEs export, strengthen trade, and deepen international ties to drive jobs, wealth, and prosperity.

Panellists: Mark Garnier OBE MP (Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury); Danielle Dunfield-Prayero (Co-Founder and Chairman, CFB); Clive Watson (Hospitality Entrepreneur and Patron, CEF); Tobias Winkler MdB (Member of the German Bundestag); and Dr Bastian Schneider MdL (Member of the State Parliament of Baden-Württemberg), with Marc Sidwell (Editor, CapX) in the chair.
