*Event Invitation*
A virtual conference held on: Thursday, 9 June 2022, at 15:00 - 17:00hrs
Background
HS2 is a £100bn+ investment in the UK's infrastructure, with the West Midlands at the heart of the new network. In this region alone, there will be two brand new stations, the HS2 Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot and the Network Infrastructure Control Centre (NICC) for the whole high speed rail network.
A large proportion of the £100bn budget will make its way down the supply chain providing transformational opportunities for businesses for more than a decade. The WMCA is committed to maximising the number of West Midlands businesses that benefit from this investment.
Event
Join this virtual webinar as we hear directly from those involved in the project about what this means for local SME's and the upcoming supply chain opportunities across the region.
The session will be chaired by Cllr Ian Courts, Portfolio Lead for Environment, Energy & HS2
- Strategic overview of HS2:
| - | Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, will outline the importance of HS2 to the West Midlands, how it underpins the region's ambitions and how important the project will be to the region's post-Covid-19 recovery plans; and how the WMCA is supporting its residents and businesses to become part of the project |
| - | Mark Thurston from HS2 Ltd, will outline the size and scale of HS2, updating the audience on where the project currently is and highlighting that the opportunities for West Midlands businesses extend beyond the region covering the whole of the route |
