Ryan is the Moderator for the Workshop: Promoting Investment

Promoting Investment will be an important part of the Summit programme, exploring how business districts can better understand their investor ecosystems and create the conditions for future investment and growth.

The Promoting Investment workshop is designed to help business district stakeholders to identify, map and support their investor ecosystems. Participants will learn about venture capital, private equity, real estate development and infrastructure investing, identifying how each of these investor types can be engaged to support the physical and commercial growth of business and industrial parks.
