The East Midlands will launch a new economic vision at the UK Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) in Leeds from 20-22 May. East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward will lead a delegation of regional partners to outline major commercial opportunities and long-term growth plans.
The region will host an East Midlands Pavilion for the first time, providing investors, developers, and businesses with direct access to the Mayor and local investment teams. Key topics will include the East Midlands Freeport, the East Midlands Investment Zone, and the region’s appeal as a tourism destination through the Visit East Midlands initiative.
Investment showcases will highlight opportunities in Derby and Nottingham, focusing on advanced manufacturing, life sciences, creative industries, food production, and logistics.
Mayor Ward will be joined by representatives from the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA), East Midlands Freeport, Marketing Derby, Invest in Nottingham, Invest in Derbyshire, and Destination Chesterfield.
