Clusters in the Midlands

In May 2023 we published the report, Exploring the investment potential of Midlands clusters. As productive concentrations of related business activity, clusters are challenging to define but nonetheless present economic strengths across the midlands.

We use data to present some of the region’s most significant clusters, building on what our partners have prioritised through local industrial strategies and other economic plans.

Our findings

0 superclusters world-leading assets
0 established clusters long-established industrial strength
