Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) is exhibiting £15 billion worth of investment opportunities at MIPIM, the leading global real estate exhibition.

A delegation from CCR and its ten councils attended the Cannes event from March 12 to 14, networking with the 26,000 participants that the exhibition attracts annually.

The showcased opportunities striving for the eyes of some 5,000 investors and 4,800 developers at MIPIM include the Aberthaw Power Station eco-park, Bridgend town centre, Cardiff Parkway and the Blaenau Gwent Tech Valleys project.

Kellie Beirne, chief executive officer of CCR, said: "We need to sell our region’s competitive strengths on a global stage, and seek out the investors, backers and markets that like our offer.

"With its strategic location, thriving economy, and ambitious development projects, CCR offers investors a compelling opportunity to be part of its growth story."

Councillor Anthony Hunt, leader of CCR cabinet, said: "This week presents a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase Cardiff Capital Region to a global audience at a renowned industry event.

"We look forward to being ambassadors for the region and we will be working hard to ensure that our attendance will bring tangible benefits for all."

He continued: "Our developing technology sector, in particular, is attracting attention from investors seeking opportunities in areas such as digital innovation, cybersecurity, and renewable energy."
