A Midland-wide delegation will join forces to help promote more than £7 billion of investment opportunities at the biggest property showcase on earth this spring.
The Midlands 海角视频 team will host a series of events in its own pavilion at the MIPIM property conference in Cannes, which takes place in March.
More than 85 private and public sector organisations from across the East and West Midlands will use the opportunity to advertise development schemes and look for partners to work with in a range of construction, real estate and finance sectors.
This year the delegation is supported by Midlands Engine and Department for International Trade, which want to help build on the region’s £250 billion economy, post-Brexit.
Among those attending will be several dozen business and political leaders from Leicester and Leicestershire, who brought the £100 million Space Park development, led by the University of Leicester, to MIPIM last year.
Work has now started on that development, which will be a world leader in satellite and data gathering technology.
This year the city and county are taking a “Healthy Choice” theme, promoting health benefits connected to things such as Loughborough University and local football, rugby, cricket and basketball teams.
It will also show how Leicester City’s new £100 million training ground is a statement of intent of the area’s commitment to world leading developments.

Some 70 private sector partners will join the cohort, including representatives of Birmingham Airport, Cassidy Group, Gleeds, Harworth Group plc, Godwin Developments, Knights Plc, Morgan Sindall, and Leicester architects RG+P.
Meriden-based Cassidy Group will be unveiling a range of 海角视频 residential projects with values from £10 million-£100 million at MIPIM.
The Group’s portfolio contains projects from eight different cities across the 海角视频 with a focus on student accommodation, private rental schemes and build to rent.
The group has a 海角视频-wide footprint with many projects situated in the Midlands.
This year, Cassidy Group will be highlighting various projects including the £48 million PRS scheme Arkwright Street, which is located in Nottingham and will create 320 new residential units.
Arkwright Street is close to Nottingham train station and a new HMRC regional headquarters, which opens in late 2021 with 4,400 new employees.
The group will also showcase its £42 million Albany Road student accommodation scheme in Coventry.
That project will create 436 new student beds in Earlsdon, which is a prime location for students.
It will be the first major purpose built student accommodation in Earlsdon and will help to meet the increasing requirements at both Warwick and Coventry Universities for accommodation.
Patric Cassidy, director of Cassidy Group, said: “Joining the Midlands’ public and private sector organisations at MIPIM enables us to have important conversations with key players and network with global investors to bring home fresh investment for not only Cassidy Group but also the whole region.
“We have a substantial development portfolio that is valued at £1 billion, including plans for more than 7,000 student beds and over 2,000 PRS/BTR units.
“We look forward to meeting with potential investment funds to discuss our exciting projects further.”
MIPIM will attract around 26,000 delegates ranging from potential investors, partners, clients, suppliers and global property media.
The three-day show will include presentations, panels and showcases within the Midlands 海角视频 Pavilion.
