EventProgrammeBecome a PartnerWhat to Expect

In this exclusive event, we are giving our network of developers, investors, construction professionals and public sector stakeholders the opportunity to engage with the candidates involved in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority Mayoral Election.

Delegates will hear each potential leader’s vision for regeneration, infrastructure, housing, investment and public/private sector collaboration and will have chance to pose questions to gain expert insight into the direction of the region under each candidate’s stewardship.

Speakers for this event include:

The Eastern Powerhouse – James Palmer, Chairman

The Eastern Powerhouse is a dynamic, business-led, independent organisation that aims to create a strategic argument for investment in the East of England. It will promote the East as a world leader of innovation in green energy, technology and life science and will support sustainable business growth that leads to better opportunities for people across the East.

James will talk about the impact that the Eastern Powerhouse will have over the next few years and what the opportunities are for the private sector to get involved in driving and supporting economic growth. Following his presentation over dinner James will be available for Q&A and can talk about the wider development opportunities in the East and how the public and private sectors can align for greater success.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority – Dr Nik Johnson, Mayor

It has been over a year since Nik took the reigns of the Combined Authority and already a significant number of strategic regeneration projects have been pushed forward. Identifying “six keys” to unlock sustainable growth in the region, the combined authority’s current priority is a consultation on improving transport links between the region and the wider UK. The Mayor has already made it his ambition to link regeneration to living a healthy life and improving life expectancy and as part of this event he will define what levelling up actually means for him.

Liberal Democrats – Cllr Aidan Van de Weyer, Liberal Democrats Candidate for Mayor

Basing his campaign around creating greener and more sustainable transport schemes across the region while ensuring economic growth benefits of Cambridge Autonomous Metro and East West Rail reach all parts of society. Aidan helped set up a Citizens Assembly on Transport centred around making public spaces, including roads, more people friendly. He joins us to share his vision for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and take questions from the audience.
