Session Overview 

Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce (TVCC) and our members recognise the significant value of FDI to the sub-regional economy.

TVCC consistently delivers high standards of inward investment support to prospective investors both directly and through the Department for Business and Trade and the Chambers global overseas network. We wish to go further to attract new, and safeguard existing, impactful and high value (jobs/capital) FDI. 

With the support of our members and closest partners, we are committed to the promotion and conversion of sector-based opportunities and the wider merits of the Thames Valley business community.  

For the next session, we will explore the role of TVCC, working with universities and local authorities and the wider business community, in developing a business-led co-partnership approach.
