This October, the pan-Regional Partnership Team and Supercluster Board is joining the UK delegation at Expo Real, Munich. This joint mission will position the UK in a bid to attract and engage investors looking to deploy large-scale capital and build international investment partnerships to benefit the whole of the UK.
Delivered in Partnership with the expert team at UK Cities and Partners, we will be presenting the Oxford to Cambridge region's science, tech and innovation ecosystems and commercial strengths to showcase the UK as a globally competitive destination for Foreign Direct Investment and promoting our partner's investable projects from across the region.
Expo Real is Europe's largest international property and investment trade fair attracting over 40,000 delegates from across 70 countries.
Dr Richard Hutchins, Managing Director said, "the UK's message could not be clearer: we're open for business and eager to work with the global investment community to secure the sustainable, environmentally distinctive development and infrastructure for our towns and cities.
"We're delighted to be part of the 100-strong UK delegation representing the UK's investment potential at Expo Real. The Oxford to Cambridge region has the scale and capabilities to become a top-three global science supercluster and we're on a mission to accelerate the economic opportunities created by our region's strengths in research, science and innovation, at pace, for our region to achieve this potential."
