Over three days, more than 1,000
investors, developers, and public sector partners visited the
Team Cambridgeshire and Peterborough pavilion back in May, to
explore opportunities spanning life sciences, advanced
manufacturing, defence, regeneration, clean energy and transport
infrastructure.
Following on from that event the
mayor, , and senior Combined Authority
officers welcomed councillors, CEO's, developers and sector
leaders to celebrate the
success of Team Cambridgeshire and Peterborough at UKREiiF. The
mayor also discussed how recent government announcement will
enhance the Combined Authority's ability to drive growth in
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
The reception served as an opportunity
to thank the organisations that supported our presence at UKREiiF
this year, while providing an informal setting to strengthen
partnerships and foster new relationships. The mayor and Combined
Authority officers engaged with organisations that share an
interest in the long-term success and development of the region,
helping to build connections that can support future economic
growth and investment.
Chair of the business board,
Shaun
Grady, spoke at the
reception: "It's a really exciting time as Cambridgeshire and
Peterborough is making a larger impact across the UK. And it's
been building over 2 years.
"Next year is going to be even bigger
and better with business propositions for development partners,
to exploit the enormous potential that exists here in our
region."
said:
"We're not just standing still, we've got lots of delivery to be
getting on with. And we're also looking forward to UKREiiF next
year.
"We want to make those investable
propositions, those delivery items clear, so all sorts of people
can see our opportunities, and invest in Cambridgeshire and
Peterborough."
Our Local
Growth Plan highlights our
ambition to grow the local economy significantly by 2050, and
that is only achievable through continued engagement and support
from businesses who see the potential in our region.
