Invest Hertfordshire to represent region at Europe’s largest trade fair
Invest Hertfordshire, the county’s new inward investment service, has been invited alongside UK Innovation Corridor (UKIC) to promote and attract investment into sites across the region at Europe’s largest trade fair.
As well as participants spanning the real estate and property sectors, the three-day event from 7-9 October attracts politicians, developers and investors keen to find out about wider trends and market opportunities.
The service was officially launched at the UK’s Real Estate, Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) in Leeds (21-23 May 2024). Over the past year, Hertfordshire is now listed in the top five UK locations for foreign direct investment jobs growth (2023/24). Its GVA of £46bn pa is on a par with UK city regions and is driving growth across several key sectors spanning film and TV, the built environment, advanced manufacturing and life sciences with a global recognised specialism in life-saving cell and gene therapies.
With a convergence of world-leading sectors, proximity to London and the Oxford-Cambridge arc and a strong track record in driving innovation, Hertfordshire is fast gaining recognition as an economic powerhouse for the UK and beyond.
The county’s exciting developments include everything from large-scale sustainable housing projects, with two new Garden Towns planned, internationally renowned film studios with a pipeline of opportunity sites brought to market under one unified Invest Hertfordshire brand.
