The delegation will join forces to showcase the region to investors, developers and occupiers to fuel the regional economy.
Highlighting the region's collaborative spirit, the private sector will join the public sector to champion compelling opportunities and sector strengths to thousands of investors.

"In the North East of England business and the public sector really do work hand-in-hand to create real opportunity and fertile ground for investment. I look forward to joining good friends from our business community to welcome you as delegates, investors, and neighbouring regions to our first North East England Pavilion. Come in to find out just how much we have to offer."
