We are delighted to invite you to our first ever Step Forward Luton Business & Investment Summit.

With over £5 billion of inward investment planned and underway, and Luton’s economy set to be the fastest growing outside of London in 2024, there has never been a better time to invest in Luton.

Join us as we launch our new inward investment prospectus and find out more about the exciting opportunities to come for business in Luton.

The event will be supported by speakers and panel sessions, confirmed speakers include Luton Rising, Luton 2020, Prologis, Arora Group, Wrenbridge and OxCam Pan-Regional Partnership.

Here are just a few facts that highlight what Luton can do for business:

  • Consistently in the top 10 places in the UK for new business start-ups and survival.

  • Well connected, 22 minutes from London with an international airport.

  • UK’s number one place for super fast broadband connectivity.

  • Home to pioneering industries across aviation, manufacturing and the creative and digital sectors.

  • A Premier League town, in the global spotlight and within easy reach of 23 million people.

Due to limited venue capacity we can accept no more than two attendee bookings per business. Please book your ticket early to avoid disappointment. Registration will be closing Friday 1st March at 3pm.
