We are the voice of business for the Bristol region. Working alongside local councils and key stakeholders, the Initiative provides an effective link between the private, public and third sectors; ensuring that business can channel its voice and help shape and influence policies.

Working in partnership with members, over the next year we will continue focusing on our mission to bring leaders together to create a prosperous city region. The overarching themes of our work in the coming year are:

• Transport: Connecting Businesses and Communities
• Skills: Preparing for the Future Workforce
• Placemaking: Creating Inclusive and Dynamic Spaces
• Tackling Deprivation: Building a More Equitable Bristol

We work with business and community leaders with a passion for creating meaningful, long lasting change for our city.
