UKREiiF attracts more than 16,000 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.”
