While at Conference, I also took the opportunity to discuss some of my work with major industry players - including renewable energy and home heating issues with Hydrogen UK and the MCS Charitable Foundation. I spoke to senior politicians and businesspeople at private panels on levelling up, the future of capitalism, carbon capture, devolution and local growth, and more. I also had an impromptu opportunity to take questions from a group of students alongside Tom Tugendhat - discussing leadership and future economic opportunities for young people.
