Gloucestershire is heading to the UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) this May with a clear message for investors: this is a county building momentum and ready to do business.

From cutting‑edge technology clusters to large‑scale housing, regeneration and heritage‑led investment, Gloucestershire will be showcasing a curated portfolio of investable opportunities that reflect both scale and diversity, all grounded in strong partnership working and a long‑term vision for resilient growth.

Throughout the event, the Invest in Gloucestershire team will host a dedicated exhibition stand, acting as a hub for investor conversations, introductions and deal‑making. Visitors can explore the county’s priority sectors, including cyber and digital, advanced engineering, agri‑tech, clean aerospace and green technologies  through immersive content and interactive experiences designed to go beyond the brochure.

A centrepiece of Gloucestershire’s programme will be a panel discussion on Tuesday 19 May, titled:

“Gloucestershire: Accelerating the Growth of Resilient Technology Clusters”

The session will explore how places like Gloucestershire are creating the conditions for technology‑led growth bringing together infrastructure investment, skills pipelines and innovation assets to build clusters that are designed to scale and endure.

Alongside the panel, Gloucestershire will officially launch its new Investment Prospectus, developed in close collaboration with district partners. The prospectus sets out a shortlist of investor‑ready opportunities, including:

  • Golden Valley, Cheltenham – the UK’s first innovation park dedicated to cyber security and digital resilience, located adjacent to GCHQ, anchoring a nationally significant technology and innovation cluster
  • City Centre Regeneration Opportunity, Gloucester – a mixed‑use, residential‑led regeneration opportunity, delivering high‑quality residential apartments within a heritage context, alongside housing growth and city‑centre renewal
  • The Royal Agricultural University Innovation Village, Cirencester – focused on agri‑tech, food security and sustainable land use
  • Eco Park, Stroud – a flagship mixed‑use development anchored by the world’s lowest‑carbon football stadium and complex, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, combining clean technologies, employment space, leisure and housing
  • Waterside regeneration at Brimscombe Inland Port, Stroud – part of an area recently recognised by The Sunday Times as one of the best places to live in the UK
  • Tewkesbury Garden Town – a major growth programme delivering new housing and employment space at scale, located within one of the UK’s most innovative advanced engineering heartlands
  • Lydney Harbour, Forest of Dean – home to a world‑class, UK‑first eel fishery, with great export potential, plus a new restaurant and visitor centre
  • Dr Jenner’s House, Berkeley – home to the world’s first vaccination centre and a site of global scientific importance, with ambitions to achieve UNESCO World Heritage status, presenting a unique opportunity for heritage‑led investment and education‑focused growth

Together, these projects offer investors a wide range of entry points, from innovation‑led campuses and technology clusters to housing delivery, heritage‑led regeneration and sustainable infrastructure.

UKREiiF provides a powerful platform for Gloucestershire to raise its profile nationally, strengthen partnerships and, crucially, move from conversation to action.
