The UKREiiF Leaders Group continues to strengthen its position as a leading forum for senior decision-makers across regeneration, investment, infrastructure and the wider built environment, bringing together more than 50 influential organisations from the public and private sectors.

The network focuses on connecting change-makers who are working to accelerate sustainable growth, support investment opportunities and address challenges facing the built environment.

Previous UKREiiF Leaders Group sessions

Recent Leaders Group sessions have explored topics including the evolving role of hospitality, tourism and the experience economy in shaping the identity of towns and cities; the impact of airport investment on regional economies; approaches to intergenerational and affordable living; and investment into water security, resilience and infrastructure.

Upcoming UKREiiF Leaders Group editions

The forthcoming programme will continue to examine major issues affecting places and investment strategies across the UK. Planned discussions include the role of defence investment in supporting regional growth and national resilience, the influence of sport-led development on regeneration and investment, the changing investment landscape across London, and the impact of the knowledge economy on places through education-led growth.

Matt Christie, Co-Founder and Director of External Affairs and Programme at UKREiiF, said: “UKREiiF Leaders Group is a fantastic opportunity to build on the momentum of our annual event throughout the year, helping us deliver on our mission of nurturing relationships and facilitating meaningful conversations between the UK’s industry leaders and changemakers. This dynamic forum provides members with a dedicated space to discuss key challenges, share insights and collaborate on practical solutions in person.

We’re excited to embark on this next chapter, exploring a range of important topics and themes while welcoming many new members to the Leaders Group community.”

As the built environment sector responds to changing economic conditions, evolving investment priorities and growing sustainability demands, the UKREiiF Leaders Group remains focused on fostering meaningful connections between organisations that are shaping future development across the country. By bringing together expertise from across public and private sectors, the forum supports ongoing collaboration and informed discussion around the projects, policies and investments influencing the UK’s places and communities.
