Insider is hosting an exclusive panel and audience debate that brings together senior figures from the public and private sectors to discuss Swindon’s economy, its redevelopment and future prospects.

This important event will give a platform to some of the area’s key business people for what promises to be a wide-ranging debate that takes stock of the town’s economy and looks at the business landscape from every side.

Issues likely to get an airing include:

  • Swindon’s natural assets, and whether enough is being done to raise the profile of the town and attract new businesses and investment.
  • What can be done to make the town centre more attractive to occupiers?
  • Whether adequate efforts are being made to diversify the economic base and provide a climate for innovation and growth.
  • Job creation and the local skills agenda. Are there examples of best practice out there where jobs have been created that can be filled by local people?
  • The main regeneration schemes that are underway or planned, and what the prospects are for pressing ahead. Also what lessons can be learned from past regeneration projects.
  • How the various public sector agencies should work together and with the private sector to promote investment in Swindon.

    • The forum is an opportunity for the business community in the area to listen and to question those with a stake in Swindon’s development as it unfolds.
