Liverpool City Region investment exceeds target by 50%

Investment from Liverpool businesses has already exceeded targets by 50% with a strong team ready to showcase the city at the European property conference, MIPIM Cannes, delivered by Liverpool Vision.

27 businesses have signed up for sponsorship of the Liverpool presence at the international event between March 10th and 13th.

New sponsors for this year’s event include Arup, Active Profile, Chrysalis Fund, City Residential, Colliers International, Curtins Consulting, Falconer Chester Hall, Glenbrook Property, GVA, Innov8 Safety Solutions, ISG, KPMG, Liverpool Chamber, Liverpool John Moores University, Pochin Construction, Redrow and University of Liverpool.

They join existing MIPIM Cannes sponsors Brabners, Bruntwood, Countryside Properties, Deloitte, Downing, Grosvenor, Harcourt, Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Liverpool BID and Peel.

Liverpool MIPIM steering group chairman Sean Beech, said: “The backing for MIPIM Cannes from the private sector this year has been the best yet and this indicates the increasing strength of the property sector in the Liverpool City Region.

“It closely follows the first ever UK version of the event which was a tremendous success for Liverpool and indeed joint exhibitors Manchester, with extensive enquiries around potential development opportunities.

“As an internationally celebrated city, Liverpool has so much to offer in terms of assets and development opportunities.

“With the full backing of businesses in the city, we will stand together to proudly showcase the best the city has to offer at Cannes with a clear aim to attract further inward investment.”

Max Steinberg, chief executive of Liverpool Vision, said: “Private sector businesses will only put their money behind things which they see a real value in, so I think their eagerness to be involved with the city’s presence at MIPIM speaks volumes and we are delighted with their drive and support.

“A look through the list of sponsors reveals the variety and strength of Liverpool’s offer, and why attending MIPIM is a must for a city of this size and ambition.”
