Powering Progress: how can innovation support a greener future for our industrial heartlands?

Join Prosper in partnership with the Net Zero Technology Centre for our fringe event at Labour Party conference in Liverpool.

As the UK accelerates toward Net Zero, applied innovation is the engine driving the regeneration of industrial heartlands like Grangemouth. Join us for a dynamic breakfast panel including Michael Shanks MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, to explore how cutting-edge technologies, smart policy, and public-private collaboration can revitalise carbon-intensive sites—turning legacy infrastructure into hubs of clean growth. 

From hydrogen and CCUS to digital systems and circular economy models, we’ll spotlight the real-world innovations transforming British industry—and the bold leadership needed to scale them. A must-attend for delegates passionate about climate, jobs, and the future of UK manufacturing and place-based renewal.

NB: Please note that this event is not in the secure zone and so accreditation from the Labour Party is not required to attend our fringe event. It would be helpful if attendees register in advance with us, to provide an indication of numbers.
