The CCR, along with its ten councils, is keen on endorsing South East Wales and its investment possibilities.

Known as a critical occasion in the property and asset investment sector, this event brings together representatives for networking, learning, and promoting their regions' potential and skillsets.

UK regions and major cities also take part, increasing the competition for securing investment.

One of those who attended was Councillor Anthony Hunt, leader of the CCR cabinet, comprised of leaders from the ten local authority partners of CCR. He 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.

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

CCR ambassador Dan Biggar, a former rugby player for Wales and British Lions, also joined in to promote the offers at the CCR exhibition stand.

CCR chief executive officer, Kellie Beirne, spoke of the need to highlight the region's competitive strengths globally.
