THE NEXT AGENDA

A Platform for Leadership in a Time of Delivery

‍

The Next Agenda is OTA Media’s flagship leadership platform, convening senior figures from business, finance, government and culture to address the defining economic and leadership questions of our time.

‍

Created in the City of London and delivered in partnership with leading global institutions, The Next Agenda brings together those responsible for decisions rather than commentary. The platform exists to explore how leadership evolves when growth, trust and competitiveness must be delivered simultaneously.

‍

Why The Next Agenda Exists

‍

Across business and government, leaders are operating in an environment shaped by uncertainty, technological change and shifting global priorities.

The Next Agenda exists to address a single question:

‍

What does leadership require now to deliver long-term growth and stability?

Through curated conversations and research-led dialogue, the platform explores how capital moves, how policy evolves and how leadership adapts in moments of transition.

‍

What We Explore

‍

Each edition of The Next Agenda focuses on themes central to economic and institutional leadership:

‍

  • Economic growth and enterprise
  • Innovation, AI and fintech
  • Ethical and sustainable finance
  • Inclusive capital and representation
  • Global partnerships and competitiveness

‍

Conversations are grounded in experience and designed to move beyond commentary toward practical leadership insight.

‍

The evening brought together policymakers, founders, investors and institutional leaders for conversations focused on innovation, leadership and the conditions required for Britain’s next phase of economic growth. Alongside formal discussions, the event created space for meaningful connection and collaboration between those shaping the country’s economic future.
