Building on over £1 billion of investment in the city over the last seven years, Bradford’s delegation will join Leeds and Wakefield Councils alongside private sector partners including Leeds Bradford Airport to ensure the profile of the UK’s largest City Region economy outside of London is showcased to its full potential to the 5,300 investors arriving from 90 countries.

Bradford’s economy has grown faster than the national average due to major investment in the city in the past seven years.

This major investment included securing the Southgate development and other prestige office development; the multi award-winning City Park which transformed the landscape adjoining Centenary Square; the improved public realm all around the city centre; and residential development promoting city centre living, particularly in and around Little Germany. Both the college and the university have invested millions in transforming their campuses, bringing great student facilities and accommodation to the city.
