On 14^th September 2018, the CPIEC launched the CPIER Final Report. Many stakeholders, councils and key businesses contributed to the launch by issuing supporting press releases.

After a period of review and socialisation the report launch was followed up with a formal event at The Royal Academy of Engineering on 9^th October 2018. Three addresses were made - by Dame Kate Barker, Rt Hon Greg Clark and Mayor James Palmer, followed by a panel discussion. All Cambridgeshire and Peterborough District and County Councils were represented, as well as other key stakeholder groups.
