The prime minister made no new policy announcements but pledged to stick to her promises to cut taxes and regulations on businesses.
The prime minister's speech lasted around 35 minutes - shorter than is usually the case for the party leader at conference - and was briefly interrupted by environmental protesters from Greenpeace, holding up a sign reading "who voted for this?".
Ms Truss also vowed to take on the "anti-growth coalition" and "enemies of enterprise", including opposition parties, "militant unions" and environmental campaigners - like the ones, she said, who heckled during her speech.Watch: Greenpeace campaigners heckle the PM a few minutes into her party conference speech.
However, in attempt to reassure the markets, she promised to "keep an iron grip on the nation's finances".And context is everything: this is a party that's been close to ripping itself to shreds in the last few days. A conference that was a showcase of dysfunction and division, from the cabinet down.
The problems the government confronts are colossal - gripping them would stretch a united outfit. The Conservatives are a long way from that right now. The hall was not packed, but reaction during the speech was positive, and included several standing ovations. Chief executive Ryan Shorthouse said her economic policies "do very little" for voters who backed the Conservatives in 2019 and "have for a long time felt forgotten".
