Team Cambridgeshire and Peterborough shine at UKREiiF advocating the region as premium investment destination

Team Cambridgeshire and Peterborough made a dynamic return to the UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), which was held in Leeds last week. Their presence reinforced the region’s position as a top-tier destination for investment, with a compelling agenda designed to showcase its unique sectors and unparalleled opportunities to increase prosperity across the region.  

Industry leaders, experts and organisations from across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough came together at UKREiiF, contributing to 12 panel sessions that showcased the region’s economic strengths, thriving innovation landscape, and exceptional quality of life. Their collective efforts reinforced why Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is a prime location to live, work, study, and invest. 

Through dynamic discussions and meaningful engagement with key figures, Team Cambridgeshire and Peterborough made a compelling case for investment – paving the way for more jobs, greater opportunities and a stronger UK economy. 

The pavilion attracted more than 527 engaged attendees, eager to explore opportunities for contributing to and thriving within the region, with most leaving their details to stay connected for on-going conversations. 

UKREiiF, running from 20-22 May, attracts more than 16 thousand delegates, high-profile investors, leading local authorities and senior government figures, including ministers and shadow ministers. The Combined Authority’s sponsorship of an exhibition pavilion ensured the region was well represented on the national and global stage, amplifying its interests and investment prospects. 

Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, Paul Bristow, said: 

“I’m delighted with the impact Team Cambridgeshire and Peterborough made at UKREiiF. Our sessions were filled with engaged delegates eager to learn more about our capabilities, continue discussions and see why our region is the ideal place to invest. 

“Investment is vital for our region – it unlocks opportunities, strengthens communities and ensures our residents enjoy a healthier, wealthier, and happier future.”
