Global property conference MIPIM starts in the south of France today.
Investors, developers and civic and business leaders will gather for three days of networking and events which could be the start of major new projects coming to towns and cities across the West and East Midlands or signal an injection of fresh interest or investment.
There will be delegations representing the Midlands region at the conference in Cannes including the West Midlands Combined Authority represented by Mayor Andy Street, Make it Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire and the inward investment team from Marketing Derby among many others.
