The Western Gateway partnership have confirmed their involvement in the UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), which is set to take place between 16-18 May, in Leeds.
The Western Gateway is the UK’s first pan-regional partnership to bring together political leaders from two countries, representing the economic powerhouse of South Wales and Western England. The partnership includes the cities of Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, Gloucester, Bath and Swindon, and stretches as far South as Salisbury.
The powerhouse brings together business, research and local authorities to lead national efforts to reach net zero, unlock a further £34 billion for the UK economy and level up communities at risk of being left behind.
UKREiiF will facilitate introductions to investors, funders and developers who could help the region realise their vision, having a truly transformational impact on economic growth and prosperity.
Katherine Bennett CBE, Chair of the Western Gateway, said: “Our area is home to innovative businesses, high tech clusters and a highly skilled workforce. We have a high quality of life with areas of natural beauty and are ready to become the UK’s first Green Energy Super Cluster, supporting the innovation and attracting the investment needed to reach our net zero goals.
“It is great to attend UKREiiF again this year alongside businesses and local leaders from across South Wales and Western England. I look forward to taking part in this year’s event and hope we can facilitate conversations which can bring real benefit to our communities.”
Keith Griffiths, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of UKREiiF, said: “Western Gateway’s collaborative approach to driving economic growth and improving the lives of local people and communities is great to see.”
“Having two deep seaports and airports acting as a global gateway for world-leading companies, the Western Gateway is already an attractive location for investment and UKREiiF will give the partnership an additional opportunity to promote the regions within and connect with businesses looking to invest. We look forward to helping them build on this success.”
Led by property events company Built Environment Networking and supported by some of the biggest UK property and infrastructure companies, the annual UKREiiF event will be held in Leeds on 16-18 May 2023. The forum will attract inward investment, generate economic growth, and drive a more sustainable and inclusive culture within the property and construction industries.
