Let’s talk green inward investment

So I’m in final training for another season of virtual events, which kicks off tomorrow. One of our biggest titles, Property Week, is running a show tomorrow and Wednesday called Invest UK. It’s a bit out of my comfort zone as it involves areas – property investment, occupiers etc. -that I have limited experience in. However having spoken to some of the speakers (and there’s a lot of them) I think one intriguing topic for discussion is the opportunities for green inward investment across the UK. Major cities and regions are falling over themselves to claim they will be the ‘greenest’ in the UK/Europe/world. But what is the reality? There’s clearly potential in such activity – I see there is a London Sustainable Industries Park in the Thames Gateway – but wonder how the marketing blurb is filtering through to proper deals.

This is only the start of my virtual event fun as the winter nights creep in. Towards the end of 2009 we are also running the old favourites, Sustainability and Education Now. For more info on those, and to see a video from yours truly on what this year’s Sustainability Now is all about, go to our virtual events site.
