Last week’s Future of Britain Conference, hosted by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change in partnership with The Britain Project and youth organisation My Life My Say, brought together experts and thought leaders – from frontline politicians and former government ministers to tech CEOs and climate activists – to share insights and put forward new ideas that can help reshape Britain and prepare the country for the decades ahead.

Watch the conference session videos below.

The conference fired the starting gun for progressives, but the road ahead is long. The Tony Blair Institute is committed to delivering this work and we will convene more thinkers, citizens and politicians – both current and potential – to provide analysis and share ideas.

 

Our policy teams will deliver solutions across six pillars – Prosperity, Transformative Technology, Net Zero, Community, Public Services and Britain in the World – which together will form a new policy agenda to propel Britain forward. Each pillar will have its own series of events and engagement opportunities.

 

The Future of Britain Conference opened a new space for progressives – let’s fill it with new ideas and ultimately, a radical, credible and much-needed plan for Britain.
