A BUSINESS INSIGHTS – GLOUCESTERSHIRE event taking place on 17 July 2026 at Patch, The Forum, Gloucester, we bring together business leaders, policymakers, investors, community organisations, and Members of Parliament to explore how Gloucestershire can drive sustainable economic growth and attract greater investment.
The programme features a series of panel discussions covering investment attraction, local procurement, regeneration, social value, skills development, and community impact. We include a morning discussion with Gloucestershire MPs, a debate on retaining more procurement spending within the county through Together Gloucestershire, an exploration of Gloucester’s regeneration and development ambitions, and the launch of the Social Value Ideas Factory, including Chamber Board Member, Claire Thayers
We’ll be exploring growth opportunities, supply chain development, job creation, infrastructure investment, and collaborative approaches that strengthen local economies and communities.
There will be valuable networking opportunities and discussion about how business, government, and community partners can work together to create long-term prosperity across Gloucestershire.
