Reinventing the city of Liverpool
Wednesday, 23 July, 2025
In this episode, we visit a city with a proud sense of identity and a bold vision for the future. Liverpool is famous for its maritime heritage, musical legacy, and vibrant culture. But today it's reimagining itself as a hub for science, technology and inclusive innovation. We explore how civic leaders, entrepreneurs and community voices are driving change, from green shipping corridors and digital connectivity to inclusive growth and skills for the next generation. We hear from Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region; Ruth Wood, CEO of Mersey Maritime; Bill Addy, Chief Executive of Liverpool BID Company; Frank McKenna, CEO of Downtown in Business; Simone Roche, CEO of Northern Power Women; Colin Sinclair and Emily Robson from Knowledge Quarter Liverpool; David Meyerowitz, Chair of the Business and Enterprise Board; Richard Willis from Haskoning; and Mark Wray, Head of Maritime at Connected Places Catapult.
