Birmingham's Economic Zones

Birmingham’s advantages as a world class city, its central location, connectivity and access to a substantial labour force make it a location of choice for business.

To maximise opportunities for economic growth, Birmingham is targeting those sectors in which it has established that the city has a competitive advantage. We have launched a series of Economic Zones marrying the growth sectors with the city’s spatial opportunities. Located to suit the requirements of the sectors, the six Zones are:

• Advanced Manufacturing Hub, Aston
• City Centre Enterprise Zone
• Tyseley Environmental Enterprise District
• Longbridge ITEC Park
• Life Sciences Campus, Selly Oak / Edgbaston
• The Food Hub, Witton

For these Economic Zones a range of measures to attract investment and promote business growth are available. These include :

• Simplified Planning
• Gap Funding
• Access to Finance
• Business Development
• Training and Recruitment

Birmingham's Economic Zones were launched in September

The document below provides more detail about how to access this unique offer and about the opportunities presented by our Economic Zones.
