After the success of last year’s UKREiiF Conference, Huddersfield Unlimited will be hosting another fringe event for 2024, this time, in partnership with the University of Huddersfield and Kirklees Council, on May 21st.
The UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), set to be held in Leeds once more, is the UK’s biggest real estate exhibition and a key networking event which annually connects more than 6,000 investors, funders and developers from across the UK and around the world.
We’ll be showcasing investment potential across Huddersfield, with a specific focus on opportunities within the health and wellbeing sector.
This comes as Kirklees Council moves forward with development of its Station to Stadium Enterprise Corridor, centring on the University’s National Health Innovation Campus, next to the Business Kirklees flagship business centre, the Glass Box.
The aim of the development is to attract more businesses to the industrial district stretching between John Smith’s Stadium and Huddersfield Railway Station, and support these businesses to grow and expand.
Councillor Cathy Scott, leader of Kirklees Council, says, “This event is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase how much we have going on in Kirklees. We have a wealth of ambitious regeneration projects, many of which are already moving at pace, and over the coming years we have even bigger plans to maximise Kirklees’ potential.
“To deliver the best for people who live and work in Kirklees, opportunities like this are crucial to bring in more interest and investment, make meaningful connections with skilled delivery partners, and make sure we’re pushing Kirklees to the forefront to keep us moving in the right direction.
“It’s particularly exciting to be holding our own event focusing on the health and wellbeing sector, which is vitally important – not just for us in here in Kirklees but for people all around the world. We’re thrilled to be partnering with the University of Huddersfield, whose new campus is already making waves and will anchor so many of these industry developments, and with Huddersfield Unlimited, who have always championed local businesses and investors, and who partnered with us to deliver a fantastic event at UKREiiF last year.”
We’ll be sharing lots more detail about our UKREiiF fringe event, the topics covered, and the investment potential in Huddersfield closer to the time.
