Invest Midlands 2022 – A connected super-region: infrastructure investment to transform the region
This year’s Invest Midlands event will take place on Friday March 25 and is being curated by TheBusinessDesk.com and its sponsors becg, the University of Birmingham, Millennium Point and Phoenix Group.
We can now exclusively reveal this year’s packed agenda, which features high-profile speakers and panellists discussing everything from devolution to funding, and the war for talent to the Midlands towns and cities of the future.
Today, we take a look at the second session of the day – A connected super-region: infrastructure investment to transform the region
The transport sector has been knocked off track during the pandemic. It now faces uncertainty about when, and to what extent, travellers will return – whether that’s commuting into the office or flying off on holiday. Policy decisions about future infrastructure investments, and the impact of net zero ambitions, have also made the direction of travel less clear. Where does this leave the Midland’s and its ambitions to be better connected to itself, the rest of the UK and the world?
Our panel includes:
– Maria Machancoses – Chief Executive – Midlands Connect
– Kevin Whitmore – Director – Head of North & Midlands – BECG
– Lorna Pimlott – Phase 2 Sponsorship Director – HS2
The full-day conference will be packed with insight, analysis and original research that will make it an inspiring and informative event that can’t be missed by anyone investing, working or innovating in the Midlands.
