With prominent development sites taking centre stage, a heavy presence in London and of course the upcoming MIPIM 2019, Invest In Nottingham have been incredibly busy this year and the fun doesn’t stop here!
As a lot of you may know, Europe’s biggest property event MIPIM 2019 is fast approaching and Team Nottingham are gearing up to showcase the city on the global stage, highlighting a number of key development sites and opportunities for investment.
Whilst Cannes 2019 is on the horizon, Invest In Nottingham will first be attending MIPIM UK – a leading property summit in it’s own right and the biggest of its kind in the UK. The event at London’s iconic Olympia attracted over 1,350 companies from 45 countries worldwide. MIPIM UK is the perfect opportunity for Invest In Nottingham to network with investors and developers, generate leads and really show Nottingham off as the new thriving city to do business in. Over ninety exhibitors including thirty-five public/local authorities were on show this year. Invest in Nottingham took the decision to walk the floor and not to be tied to a stand, enabling the team to quantify the conversations and arrange more focused discussions with key decision makers.
The approach was justified with two enquires being picked-up, client relationships enhanced with site location consultants and other key destination partners. Overall, a productive day and an opportunity grasped to enhance the Nottingham story to a fresh audience.
MIPIM UK took place on October the 17th and 18th at Olympia London and MIPIM takes place from the 17th to the 19th of March 2019 at Palais des Festivals Cannes, France.
When the team aren’t busy in the world of property they are immersed in Nottingham’s thriving tech sector and are often at events in London presenting the city as a platform for tech and creative start-ups to achieve high growth and be part of a strong tech community.
Nottingham is home to The Creative Quarter which offers a range of services from co-working hubs and unique business spaces. Nottingham also has a healthy, strong tech community which host numerous tech events and meet ups across the city. Businesses looking to build a presence in Nottingham also have access to 29,600 creative and digital students. With all of this combined it shows how strong Nottingham’s message and why it’s worth shouting about at events such as TechDay London.
London’s largest start-up event, TechDay London attracts over 7,000 delegates and 200 tech start-ups providing the perfect breeding ground for Invest In Nottingham to take their knowledge and skills. Invest in Nottingham will be at the event to spread the word about our growing sector, which was recently recognised as a ‘Scale-up’ location in the Tech Nation 2018 report. With over 22,000 tech jobs, Nottingham offers companies a wealth of talent.
We’re a location to grow your business. The sector is well established and contributes over £1bn into the economy. We have the talent along with a close-knit tech community.
