BusinessLDN was delighted to host our‘Future London’ annual conference on 3 June 2025.
Our annual Future London conference explored the key issues impacting London’s competitiveness and how businesses can help to shape a brighter future for the capital. We convened the city’s leaders to forge connections, share insights and discuss transformative solutions to build a city that works for businesses, Londoners and the whole of the UK.
London is the best city in the world in which to do business. Home to world-leading economic clusters and universities, and a global beacon for diverse talent and opportunity, the capita is the UK’s engine for economic growth.
But strong headwinds, including rising costs and stretched government finances and public services, threaten the capital’s competitiveness and future growth. Futureproofing London requires bold and innovative solutions that would supercharge investment, productivity and growth.
During the 1‑day event we tackled a diverse range of topics that cut across the capital’s ecosystem and will be key to its continuing success.
Attendees experienced a fast-paced, vibrant programme and plenty of high-quality networking throughout the day.
