A dynamic £75 billion economy at the heart of the UK, West Yorkshire has the talent, universities, connections, networks and a multi-billion pound plan for growth that means businesses can invest with confidence.

Each year at UKREiiF we showcase the best of the region with live performances, networking opportunities, interactive sessions, hands-on demos and good conversations.

Alongside nationally significant investment ready opportunities, we highlight regional flagship regeneration programmes, new towns, major housing developments, mass transit, major rail upgrades and culture and creativity.

At UKREiiF 2026 there were 5 major reasons to visit our pavilion.

Transforming the region with mass transit: Mass transit, Northern Powerhouse Rail and the Transpennine Route Upgrade are unlocking investment and accelerating redevelopment across West Yorkshire.
The power of culture: Driving regeneration and amplifying the region’s cultural impact through flagship projects and sites from Bradford 2025 to Wakefield’s Tile Yard North, Huddersfield’s Our Cultural Heart and Piece Hall in Halifax.
Building tomorrow: Creating jobs, communities and long‑term regeneration with thousands of new homes across new towns and major growth areas including Leeds South Bank, Bradford City Village and Calderdale’s garden communities.
A future‑ready skilled region: A strong talent pipeline to power business growth and innovation thanks to West Yorkshire’s seven universities and seven FE colleges.
Bold ideas and real‑world solutions: Innovation hubs from Huddersfield’s Health Innovation Campus to Leeds’ £2 billion Innovation Arc and Microsoft’s £2.5 billion data centre are powering the groundbreaking solutions created in the region.

From Leeds to Bradford, Huddersfield to Wakefield to Halifax and our fantastic towns in between, we showcased more than 40 investment-ready, transformational developments in our West Yorkshire investment prospectus.

UKREiiF will return to Leeds in 2027 for the sixth year running

As a region where opportunity lives, I am delighted West Yorkshire will once again host UKREiiF 2027 in the fabulous city of Leeds. With an economy outperforming the national average, we can build on previous years’ success and provide visiting business with the ‘go to’ destination for inward investment. I look forward to welcoming investors, businesses and the public sector back once again to UKREiiF as we work together to build a brighter region that works for all.
