Exceptional work in low carbon is already underway across our vast partnership landscape, making the Midlands a leading location for Green Growth. But the potential for more is phenomenal and this Plan gives us the focus to complement and accelerate each existing partner initiatives, and to co-develop and deliver new innovations and opportunities.

The Ten Point Plan for Green Growth is the first time the Midlands Engine has proposed a unified vision of our region’s role in the country’s path to net zero. Recognising that our region is rich in potential and diverse in scope and capacity, it sets out how, where and when we can act in true collaboration – to add value, connect and amplify our region’s exceptional leadership and innovation in low carbon to benefit the Midlands and the UK.

Developed with input and leadership from partners from every part of our region, the plan recognises our region is rich in potential and diverse in scope and capacity. It sets out how, where and when we can act in true collaboration – adding value, connecting, and amplifying our region’s exceptional leadership and in low carbon.
