Several business leaders at Labour's annual conference expressed concerns that the upcoming global investment summit could underwhelm due to its timing just before the budget. They worry commitments will be hesitant without clear government priorities.
Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, emphasized the problematic scheduling of the summit: 'It's the wrong way round... People will want to know what the government's priorities are before committing investment.'
Industry insiders shared frustration over how quickly the government approached companies about the investment summit: 'The hurried timescale for a major summit raises questions about its effectiveness and purpose amidst pending economic discussions.'
