C&W to host events at key property show
THE Coventry and Warwickshire MIPIM Partnership 2015 is to host a series of high level events during the four-day show in Cannes next month.
A number of the events at MIPIM, which attracts global property, development and investment figures, will focus on cities and how they attract investment.
Jackie Sadek, chief executive of UK Regeneration, is chairing an investor round table for the MIPIM Partnership on Tuesday March 10.
The event, designed to attract leading investment figures, will be attended by Sir Michael Bear, executive chairman of the Regeneration Investment Organisation (RIO) at UK Trade and Investment.
RIO, launched by the Prime Minister in November 2013, is a one-stop-shop acting as the ‘honest broker’ in directing international investors to a £100 billion pipeline of UK regeneration opportunities.
Martin Reeves, chief executive of Coventry City Council, will introduce and host an event – on Wednesday March 11 – in partnership with Oxford Intelligence, a provider of business information to international commerce and government agencies.
Oxford Intelligence’s management team, Richard Liebrechts and David Parker will speak on current opportunities and trends in the world of foreign direct investment, and how investment decisions are made.
Ann Lucas, leader of Coventry City Council, will lead a session on Thursday March 12 outlining the opportunities which lie in the ‘Key Cities.’
The Key Cities Group was formed in 2013, comprising 25 UK cities initially founded by the councils of Coventry, Derby, Preston, Sunderland and Wakefield.
They have a combined GVA of £160bn and a population of more than seven million.
