Business Catalyst
BUSINESS CATALYST Local support package for small & medium-sized enterprises setting up in Greater Birmingham WELCOME TO GREATER BIRMINGHAM STRONG FOUNDATIONS & VISION FOR THE FUTURE Home to world-class company headquarters, innovative entrepreneurs, international centres of excellence and one of the youngest populations in Europe: Greater Birmingham is a thriving, business-focused region. Centrally located in the UK, and with a highly skilled talent pool, the region provides the scale and size to service the largest of business functions. This is reflected in the decisions by HS2 Ltd and HSBC to locate substantial operations here. Birmingham is constantly evolving, and through its 20-year Big City Plan aims to create a world-class city centre and become one of the top 20 most liveable cities in the world. Significant progress has already been made and major investments include the £600 million New Street station scheme and the £129 million extension of the Metro line. Opened in 2013, the new Library of Birmingham is the largest in Europe and the new City Park is the first urban park to be developed in Birmingham for 125 years. We are a city that is bucking the trend, attracting more foreign direct investment and more visitors than ever despite challenging economic conditions and increasing competition. In 2016 we generated a 26% increase in inward investment projects compared to a 12% rise across the UK, while our visitor economy is now worth £6.2billion, supporting over 69,000 jobs. 3 HOW CAN WE HELP? BUSINESS BIRMINGHAM Business Birmingham is the city’s official inward investment agency, tasked with raising the city’s profile as an attractive business destination.
