Regenerate South | Business South

Introduction

The Regenerate South Action Group focuses on the opportunities, challenges and delivery of promoting the Central South as a global gateway to innovation, technology and the marine and maritime economy.

Regenerate South supports and promotes the major development schemes and potential investment sites across the Central South.

Our Goal

Regenerate South brings together industry experts from across the built environment to collaborate, innovate, and support the delivery of projects across the Central South. The group works to unlock opportunities for sustainable growth by fostering collaboration between the private and public sectors and helping to facilitate strategic development sites across the region.

The group has produced its Priorities for Good Growth document to help inform the new Mayor of Hampshire and the Solent’s ambitions for the region, setting out practical recommendations to support sustainable economic growth.

Business South also invites champions to join the delegation attending MIPIM and UKREiiF each year, helping to promote the region as a leading destination for investment, development, and business growth.
