Working in partnership with Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, Wakefield and the private sector, the West Yorkshire programme will cover three major themes - doing business, connecting sustainable places, and our people, our future.
Our programme will showcase:
- How our unique combination of innovation, connectivity and culture makes us one of the UK’s most attractive to invest, base a thriving business, live, work and study
- How our plans to make housing more sustainable will help meet our net zero goals
- How West Yorkshire’s global strengths in AI and data are driving investment growth
- How the new West Yorkshire Healthtech and Digital Investment Zone will support our world-leading research and innovation in the health sector, unlocking millions in new investment opportunities
- How our integrated transport network will modernise connectivity across the region
- How West Yorkshire’s young and diverse population will shape the future of our region.
The event themes are underpinned by the West Yorkshire Plan, an ambitious vision to create an inclusive economy with well-paid jobs, great places and healthy communities, linked by a strong transport system, by 2040.
