UKREiiF Annual Event 2022 | Built Environment Networking Ltd | 16 May 2022 | Leeds Dock, The Blvd, Leeds LS10 1PZ, UK

This event will enable the UK to Build Back Better, connecting investors, developers, the public sector, funders and end-users to inward investment, create new relationships and unlock inclusive economic growth.

The UK needs a platform for the public sector to showcase the scale of development progress and profile future investment opportunities to investors, developers and occupiers from around the globe that is based right here in the UK.

In addition we’re focused on several key themes: the UK’s Net Zero Target, Social Value and Inclusive Growth, The Future of Real Estate, Building Better Communities and a focus on inward investment via our Investor Centre.

To showcase the desire for this platform we’ve announced a number of supporters who’ve already backed this game-changing forum.
