Senior business figures and investors will meet in Stafford next month to explore how the county can attract further investment across advanced manufacturing, logistics and defence sectors.
The Invest Staffordshire breakfast event takes place on Tuesday 17 November 2026 at The Octagon, Beaconside, Stafford. The event is hosted by Insider Media and Staffordshire Investment Agency.
What the event will cover
Panel discussions will focus on major development projects shaping Staffordshire's economy. These include the £1bn West Midlands Interchange, described as Europe's largest logistics site; the £500m Ceramic Matrix Composites manufacturing hub; and the £80m strategic commercial site Chatterley Park.
Robin Hall, Staffordshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Economy and Skills and a speaker at the event, said: "Staffordshire has the businesses, skills and ambition to attract major investment. Our job is to turn that potential into better jobs, stronger local businesses and more opportunities for our residents. We cannot afford to stand still. This event is about bringing decision-makers together, understanding what businesses need and tackling the barriers that hold investment back. I want investors to see Staffordshire as a place where they can build, grow and get things done."
Who should attend
The event is aimed at senior figures from business, local government, property, investment and economic development from across the region and beyond. It will provide strategic insight, networking opportunities and discussion around investment opportunities.
