SUMMARY:Autumn Influence Dinner: Securing our Island’s economic future
DESCRIPTION:IoD Isle of Man is hosting its premier event of the year on 2nd October 2025 at the Comis Hotel & Golf Resort, at which leading voices will debate how the Island can secure its long-term economic prosperity.\nSponsored by Appleby and Lloyds Bank International, Securing Our Island’s Economic Future: The Road to 2035, will explore a key question: what must we do to ensure our Island is strong and prosperous over the next decade?\nPanellists for the event are:\n\nLord (Daniel) Finkelstein OBE (pictured), columnist, broadcaster, and member of the House of Lords\nSimon Collister, Head of Human Understanding, UNLIMITED\nMegan Mathias MBE – Chief Operating Officer, Cabinet Office, Isle of Man Governme\nHannah Simons, Head of Sustainability, Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets\nJohn Webster – Chair, Manx Technology Group, and former economic adviser to the Isle of Man Government\n\nDrawing parallels with the UK’s Invest 2035 strategy, panellists will offer thoughts on how the Isle of Man can remain competitive, compelling, resilient, and relevant in a rapidly changing world – an Island that is no longer immune to what happens globally.\nKey topics to be discussed will include:\n\nStrengthening the Island’s competitiveness in relation to the UK and other key competitors.\nThe UK-Isle of Man relationship.\nIdentifying priority infrastructure and workforce investments.\nAssessing the influence of tax, technology, climate change, geopolitical shifts, and competitors on long-term economic resilience.\n\nSteve Billinghurst, Chair, IoD Isle of Man, said: “The Isle of Man stands at a crossroads. With a General Election in September 2026, a pivotal MONEYVAL review, mounting local challenges such as skills shortages, and an increasingly unpredictable global environment – all with the potential to affect Island businesses – it is essential that we take a long-term view.\n“Our event will offer a vital platform to shape the policies and strategies that will define our prosperity for the next generation.\n“The panel will consider whether the Island is doing enough to innovate and leverage its strengths while preparing for inevitable disruption. From taxation and regulation to education and connectivity, no area will be off limits for discussion.”\n
