Invest Midlands is set to bring the region together for an entire day on Wednesday 26 May, but how easy is it to travel from East to West?

In an exclusive session, transports and infrastructure specialists from across the region will come together for a special debate called: Connecting the Midlands: The Transport Vision

Transport infrastructure investment is key to accelerating economic growth in the Midlands. Our panel will analyse the plans that are in place, the priorities that still need addressing, and how large-scale investment will benefit the region in the years ahead.
