Inclusive investment isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a movement to reshape the way money flows, ensuring that opportunities aren’t limited to a select few but are accessible to a diverse range of people, particularly those historically underserved by traditional financial systems. At its core, inclusive investment is about designing strategies, products, and processes that are equitable, accessible, and impactful, creating economic growth that’s shared more fairly across society.

But inclusive investment is easier said than done. That’s where UKREiiF (The UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum) comes in, an event that doesn’t just talk about inclusivity but actively makes it happen.

How UKREiiF Promotes Inclusive Investment

UKREiiF has become a hub for meaningful connections between investors, developers, occupiers, and local authorities. What sets it apart is its focus on collaboration, sustainability, and social responsibility, bridging gaps between large urban centres and smaller regional areas that often get overlooked.

With over 16,000 attendees and a programme of specialised public- and private-sector-focused events, UKREiiF has played a pivotal role in unlocking billions in investment. A striking example is Torbay, where conversations at UKREiiF directly contributed to a transformative £100 million+ development in 2023, delivered in partnership with leading developers Milligan and Willmott Dixon.

The Role UKREiiF Plays in Driving Inclusivity

Here’s how UKREiiF ensures that inclusive investment is more than a concept, it’s a reality:

  • Accessible Platform: By freezing costs for local authorities, UKREiiF ensures that smaller regions can showcase their potential alongside major cities, giving every area a fair shot at investment.
  • Direct Facilitation: Exclusive, private meetings allow investors and local authorities to connect directly, turning opportunities into tangible projects faster.
  • Focus on Social Value & Diversity: Partnerships with diversity and inclusion leaders keep equity at the heart of conversations, encouraging a more representative and fair industry.
  • Regional Rebalancing: Councils and regional governments from across the UK gain a stage to attract investment.
  • Cross-Sector Collaboration: By bringing planners, officials, and investors together, UKREiiF fosters sustainable development, from community-led regeneration to health-focused urban planning.

The results speak for themselves: over 83% of participants report tangible outcomes, demonstrating that UKREiiF is not just a networking event, it’s a catalyst for inclusive economic growth.

Why It Matters

Inclusive investment benefits everyone. By ensuring that diverse communities and regions have access to funding and opportunities, we build stronger economies, more resilient communities, and a fairer society. UKREiiF is helping to make that vision a reality, proving that when we invest inclusively, everyone wins.

Whether you’re an investor looking for high-impact opportunities, a local authority seeking partners, or a developer aiming to make a difference, UKREiiF is where inclusive investment comes to life.
