More businesses than ever are backing Liverpool’s mission to MIPIM 2015, the global property and investment conference held in Cannes in March.

Organisers reported that 27 businesses have joined the delegation, almost double the amount that signed up for MIPIM 2014, looking to take advantage of Liverpool’s links and draw interest for the city from potential investors.

Liverpool’s profile at MIPIM events grew significantly last year, with attendance at both MIPIM Cannes and the inaugural MIPIM UK event in London.

The new sponsors who will be joining the delegation this year includes:

• Arup
• Active Profile
• Chrysalis Fund
• City Residential
• Colliers International
• Curtins Consulting
• Falconer Chester Hall
• Glenbrook Property
• GVA
• Innov8 Safety Solutions
• ISG
• KPMG
• Liverpool Chamber
• Liverpool John Moores University
• Pochin Construction
• Redrow
• The University of Liverpool

They will be joining previous MIPIM Cannes sponsors:

• Brabners
• Bruntwood
• Countryside Properties
• Deloitte
• Downing
• Grosvenor
• Harcourt
• Liverpool John Lennon Airport
• Liverpool BID
• Peel

Sean Beech, Liverpool MIPIM steering group chairman and a partner at Deloitte, said:

“The backing for MIPIM Cannes from the private sector this year has been the best yet and this indicates the increasing strength of the property sector in the Liverpool city region.

“It closely follows the first ever UK version of the event which was a tremendous success for Liverpool and indeed joint exhibitors Manchester, with extensive enquiries around potential development opportunities.”

Chief executive of Liverpool Vision, Max Steinberg, added:

“Private sector businesses will only put their money behind things which they see a real value in, so I think their eagerness to be involved with the city’s presence at MIPIM speaks volumes and we are delighted with their drive and support.”
