The Midlands is home to some of the world’s most successful companies, providing an engine of trade and exports for the UK for over a century.
As the world recovers from the pandemic, there are huge opportunities to amplify the voice and reputation of the Midlands and expand the region’s global footprint.
Identifying and activating inward investment opportunities, encouraging more firms to export to more places around the world, and keeping jobs and opportunities within our region will help to close the £86.3 billion productivity gap in the Midlands leading to greater prosperity for our communities and economic growth at scale.

The first resource of its kind to present the wealth of exceptional priority investment opportunities in the Midlands.
