As Keir Starmer's government marks a year in office having entered Downing Street with a landmark majority and a 'Plan for Change', getting the economy firing has proved harder than he hoped.
But we now have an Industrial Strategy, an Infrastructure Strategy, some Sector Plans and a potential framework to shift the needle on productivity, investment, confidence and growth.
In this episode we talk to Nigel Tipple, chief executive of Enterprise Oxfordshire and Chris Smith, founder of think tank The Centre for the New Midlands for their perspectives on that question: where's the growth going to come from?
In conversation with Ben Copithorne, they discuss everything from views on foreign direct investment and skills to devolution, disruption and the biggest opportunities they see in their regions to accelerate business opportunity.
