The Gatwick Diamond Initiative is pleased to announce its forthcoming Business Leaders event entitled ‘Shaping the Future of the Gatwick Diamond’.

This year, our keynote event will be in two parts. As economic growth slowly returns, finance for growth will be crucial to support Gatwick Diamond’s businesses in harnessing opportunities. Expert speakers will therefore consider the future in terms of availability of growth finance particularly venture finance (capital, equity and hybrid finance). There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions during a lively panel discussion.

The second part of the event will be your opportunity to shape the future of the Gatwick Diamond. The Gatwick Diamond, as a globally significant economic area in its own right, was officially recognised ten years ago. It is therefore right that we take stock and use this opportunity to consult with the business community, stakeholders, public sector leaders and educational institutions to agree the Gatwick Diamond Initiative’s priorities for the next 10 years.
