Opportunity knocks for businesses looking to build their success in Kent and Medway

Locate in Kent, the inward investment agency for Kent and Medway, will have a stand at Business Vision Live taking place from 9am until 4pm on Wednesday, 11 May.

This free event is one of the biggest B2B events in the South-East and is expected to attract thousands once again to the Event Centre at the County Showground, Detling.

Experts from Locate in Kent will be on hand to talk about opportunities and support available for businesses looking to grow or expand in the county.

Gavin Cleary, CEO Locate in Kent, said: “Despite the challenges facing the world right now Kent and Medway is continuing to attract investment which is great news for jobs and the county’s economy.

“There are great opportunities in our region for companies in the agritech and biotech sectors working on innovative and sustainable ways to grow and deliver fresh produce and pantry items to people living across London and the South-East. We are also looking for companies that are developing innovative and value-added foods.

“There are further opportunities in logistics and distribution, driven by the acceleration of e-commerce since the pandemic and growing population. Across sectors, we welcome companies that can support our net zero carbon goals. And of course, construction and manufacturing remain key sectors for Kent and Medway.

“We want to meet businesses already in Kent and those looking to set up in Kent and help find the right site, access funding, make the right contacts and more. Find us on Stand 135.”
