Businesses from in and around Ipswich found out more about what a university based in the town will mean when they attended a business seminar.
The breakfast meeting attracted 70 business representatives and they heard about the developments of the UCS (University Campus Suffolk) project.
A university and a new-build Suffolk College will have a huge economic and cultural boost across the area. New jobs and facilities will change the face of the town.
Business leaders have been at the forefront of the campaign to bring a university to Suffolk. That campus in Ipswich, with its satellite centres across Suffolk, will see more than 4,000 students form the first UCS intake next year.
