UKREiiF 2025

Liverpool City Region has introduced a £2bn Investment Fund to accelerate economic growth, unlock development sites and support large‑scale regeneration across the region. The new fund brings together a range of public finance streams into the largest single investment pot ever created for the area.

The fund is central to the city region’s ten‑year economic plan, which targets a £10bn boost to the local economy, higher productivity and the creation of tens of thousands of skilled jobs.

A key objective of the fund is to enable progress on stalled or dormant development sites and deliver rapid regeneration in strategic locations. It will support delivery of high‑quality office space in Liverpool city centre, new laboratory facilities and small industrial units tailored to sectors such as advanced manufacturing, life sciences and digital technology. These projects align with the region’s wider ambition to strengthen innovation‑led industries.

Housing growth forms a major part of the investment plan. The fund will underpin a £2bn housing pipeline expected to deliver up to 64,000 new homes across the Liverpool City Region, together with essential infrastructure to support long‑term community development.

The initiative forms part of a broader £11bn package of development opportunities currently being promoted by the city region. This includes future projects spanning Liverpool’s North Docks, Central Station, health innovation districts and major innovation campuses. The Investment Fund supports the Combined Authority’s strategic priority to drive inclusive, sustainable and high‑value economic growth across all parts of the region.

Liverpool City Region will promote the Investment Fund at UKREiiF, where it will host a dedicated pavilion to present its regeneration pipeline. The event will enable the region to highlight major development opportunities, engage directly with investors and showcase its approach to public‑private partnership and long‑term economic growth.
