Latest News Tue, Jan 3, 2023 7:02 AM

UKGBC announces the cohort for the 10th year of its innovative Future Leaders programme.

The programme kicks off with a two-day innovation workshop in late January, followed by a retreat in March and will culminate in a celebratory evening showcasing the cohort’s sustainability pitches to industry leaders in June 2023.

The programme takes participants on a journey to develop their innovative thinking, business idea development, personal leadership skills, collaboration and storytelling.

Future Leaders provides a forum for tomorrow’s leaders to grapple with the most critical issues that the sector will face in the future, and challenges participants to work collaboratively to address these.
