After the UK left the European Union, the UK government committed to providing funds to invest in local priorities and target funding where it is most needed. This led to the launch of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
Birmingham City Council and its partners have launched the Birmingham and Solihull Export Support Programme, designed to support small to medium enterprises (SMEs) based in the Birmingham City Council and Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council local authority areas. The programme is funded by the UK government through the UKSPF.
The UKSPF is a central pillar of the UK government’s agenda and provides £2.6billion of funding for local investment by 31 March 2026.
