The City of Derby's position as the UK's Capital for Innovation was further enhanced last month with the UK Government's announcement of a £9billion deal with Rolls-Royce, focused on fortifying its nuclear submarine activity in Derby.
It is within this context that Derby's pitch at MIPIM 2025 focuses on the radical transformation of the city centre as a place to live, work and visit, as well as launching of the Infinity Park Derby Investment Zone.

The city centre offer includes the Cultural Heart of the City investment - anchored around the Market Place - incorporating the Assembly Rooms and Guildhall Theatre sites, as well as launching a City Centre First Office Prospectus aimed at attracting 250,000sq ft of new Grade A office locations to complement the existing eco-system of managed work space and single use secondary market.
In addition, the University of Derby is bringing forward opportunities for a new City Centre Campus clustered around the new £70m Business School opening this year.

The Infinity Park Derby Investment Zone will offer significant Government backed incentives to research and development, tech based, advanced manufacturing uses, building on the Rolls-Royce Nuclear Skills Academy and its adjacent Aerospace Campus.

With the fastest-growing economy in the UK and as a leader in attracting FDI, Greater Manchester is now ready to accelerate its growth mission.
The region has unveiled an ambitious ten-year plan to turbocharge growth and deliver tens of thousands of new jobs for its residents. Using its devolved powers to target six growth locations – nationally significant sites with massive economic potential over 10 boroughs – via a place-based approach, the region hopes to attract £10bn in investment and pioneer a new way of delivering large-scale development.
Each Growth Location will have a distinct focus, building on existing sector strengths and opportunities. Just one Growth Location scheme could unlock 48,000 new jobs, and 17,000 new homes, and add £4.2 billion to the local economy.
At the heart of this plan is an integrated single pipeline for growth which will ensure developments are complementary and have the infrastructure needed to create thriving, well-connected communities.
This approach will help us deliver projects of similar size and scale to the Old Trafford Regeneration Scheme - the biggest sports-led regeneration scheme since the London 2012 Olympics and a key part of the Western Gateway Growth Location. Comprising homes, public realm and commercial opportunities, this scheme could deliver £7.3bn to the UK economy and over 90,000 jobs.
