Joining the mayor will be Birmingham City Council managing director Joanne Roney, Greg Clark, chairman of University of Warwick's Innovation District, and Birmingham City co-owner Tom Wagner.

Mayor Parker said: "The West Midlands is already one of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ's most attractive destinations for investors but I'm committed to accelerating that economic growth so it benefits all our communities sooner.

"That means forging partnerships with forward-looking investors and developers whose ambitions support my own key priorities of growth, jobs, affordable homes and better transport.

"º£½ÇÊÓÆµREiiF offers a golden opportunity to do that and change thousands of lives for the better.

"And with some of the country's most important regeneration schemes in the pipeline, and the added benefit of the West Midlands' Investment Zone status, there has never been a better time to become part of our shared success story."

Organised by the West Midlands Growth Company, the region's investment promotion agency, the delegation will include local authority figureheads from across the West Midlands county and also the combined authority.
