West Yorkshire Regional Ecosystem Showpiece

There are an incredible number of developments and changes occurring within West Yorkshire over the next 3 to 10 years. This includes the investment zones, innovation zones and health tech clusters and corridors, in addition to a brand-new tram network to provide easier access across the region. These developments along with the other items on the agenda, will bring new business and investment opportunities, attracting new talent and startups/scaleups to be part of it. The big gap for all of this is regional funding.

This event is designed to showcase the current and future regional highlights, display the incredible opportunities, and generate excitement within the target audience to want to be part of this journey. We believe this event will help people think differently, understand more about early-stage investments, the impact they can have, as well as the role investors can play to help shape the future of the region. We want people to leave this event having a better understanding of early stage investing and the benefits and how this will form a huge part of the overall vision for the region.

We have some incredible speakers lined up who are perfectly placed to discuss the new developments within the region. These include:

Felix Kumi-Ampofo - Director, Inclusive Economy, Skills, and Culture
Tom Riordan – Chief Executive of Leeds City Council
James Goodyear – Director of Strategy for Leeds Teaching Hospitals

The event will start at 5pm with several talks and panels to begin with, followed by food and drink and plenty of networking.

This event is sponsored by West Yorkshire Combined Authority, the British Business Bank and Par Equity.
