Are you thinking about launching into the UK? If so, let me tell you about the West Midlands.
The West Midlands is the UK’s leading region for Foreign Direct Investment, recording the highest annual growth rate of all UK locations. We’re working at pace to deliver on the UK Government’s ‘Science & Technology Superpower’ ambitions.
West Midlands has the perfect combination of world-class research assets, specialist talent, committed public sector support and unique technological capabilities, making it the ideal destination for groundbreaking companies to thrive. Located at the heart of the UK, we’re a three-city region comprising of Coventry, Wolverhampton and Birmingham, the UK’s second city. We’re sustained by a growing population of 4.7 million people and one of the youngest, most diverse talent pools in the UK, with 32% of residents under the age of 25.
Life would look very different without West Midlands’ innovations. The pacemaker, the world’s leading brain cancer drug and the world’s first Ibuprofen patch were all developed here. Famed pioneers James Watt, Matthew Boulton, William Shakespeare, James Starley, John Cadbury, and J.R.R. Tolkien all hail from the region.
