Invest Liverpool is an annual event that explores business and development in Liverpool city.
“Invest Liverpool brings together business leaders and urban strategists to explore realistic opportunities for urban renewal and commercial development in Liverpool,” Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun said.
“Council is leading change in Liverpool as the city develops to meet the demand of a growing population.”
As one of Australia’s leading social commentators, Bernard Salt will bring a wealth of research and insights about the changing face of Liverpool.
“He will be joined by leading experts in healthcare, education, property and government for a panel
discussion on potential challenges and opportunities associated with growth, development and investment in the Great South West,” said Mayor Mannoun.
“Liverpool is undergoing major change and there is enormous potential for savvy investment and
development in the city. This year the University of Wollongong and Western Sydney University established a presence which will grow into comprehensive offerings for students and businesses in 2017.
“Council has worked hard over many years to attract these universities to Liverpool. Where universities
establish, business will follow. By attracting tertiary education facilities businesses can tap into talented
local people.
“We have strong public sector investment through Council and the State Government, so Liverpool has a
solid foundation for growth. We are experiencing increased interest from corporates seeking to establish a foothold in this growing city.
“Invest Liverpool is designed to provide interested businesses the inside information and network on what’s happening in the city within the context of wider Sydney and the economy.”
