Reayrtys Co-Founder debates Manx futures with Institute of Directors

Reayrtys Co-Founder, Simon Collister, spoke on a panel at the Institute of Directors Isle of Man's fascinating annual influence dinner last week. It was an illustrious panel with thought-leaders from on- and off the island which, in turn, generated a wide-ranging and thoroughly thought-provoking series of discussions.

The IoD Isle of Man published a great run-down of the main themes explored:

• Need to create a clear, overarching vision for the Isle of Man

• The economic and political factors that may drive UK growth

• The importance of a strong and effective regulatory regime

• Unlocking opportunities through the Island’s UNESCO Biosphere status and drive to Net Zero

• Building and promoting the ‘Isle of Man’ brand

• Building links with the Manx and Celtic diaspora worldwide

• The need for access to up-to-date, relevant economic data

• Driving forward with a true growth mindset

With general election year looming, we hope this event has framed some of the key issues for new candidates and MHKs alike.
