Sajid Javid is in the US and Canada to show North American businesses how investing in the Midlands region could put them in the fast lane for growth.
The Communities and Local Government Secretary is determined to strengthen Britain’s relationships with countries around the world to help businesses in the Midlands, and across the country, to flourish.
Accompanying some of the region’s top business executives, the Midlands Engine Trade Mission is showcasing the region to an international audience to make sure that the cities of the Midlands become the go-to destination for foreign investment.
Government plans for the Midlands include a £250 million Midlands Engine Investment Fund to provide investment through Access to Finance for small and medium-sized enterprises, and £300 million investment in a High Value Manufacturing Catapult and £45 million for a new Energy Systems Catapult in Birmingham, to attract the most innovative businesses to the region.
Javid said: “For the first time ever we are bringing the Midlands Engine to the world stage. These aren’t just warm words – over the next 15 years, we plan to generate an additional £34 billion for the Midlands economy.
“And with exports from the Midlands to both the US and Canada up significantly over the past five years, we have a strong record to build on.”
