iED partner webinar with Arup Place based case making

Innovation districts, clusters and high-growth sectors can be powerful drivers of productivity, regeneration and inclusive growth – but how can places turn ambition into investable, deliverable propositions? This is a recording of an joint Institute of Economic Development and our Organisation Partner Arup webinar exploring practical approaches to place-based case making. Drawing on work in Nottingham, Grangemouth and other case studies, the session examined how evidence, stakeholder engagement, visioning and investment planning can build consensus and move projects towards delivery. This webinar took place on the 23rd October 2026.
