The UK Department for Business and Trade has said that nearly 38,000 jobs are set to be created across the country after a total of £63 billion ($82.42 billion) of investment was announced around Monday's International Investment Summit.
The record-breaking total is more than double the £29.5 billion ($38.59 billion) committed at last year's Global Investment Summit. It spans partnerships across the infrastructure and tech sectors, including more than a billion pounds in new investments announced by DP World, Associated British Ports (ABP) and Imperial College London.
