A guide to business in Birmingham

Introduction
Outside of London, Birmingham is the UK’s second largest market
for doing business, with a thriving manufacturing industry and growing
service and tourism sector.
The much publicised HS2 rail project, which will unite the area with London, is likely
to stimulate further investment, making the city one of the most commercially attractive
cities in Europe.
Significant investment from home and abroad should help to alleviate the city’s unemployment
problem in the coming years, making Birmingham a European hub for international business.
The city is regarded as the 18th best city in Europe in which to locate a business (1), providing
access to over 100,000 graduates, with competitive advantage in areas like automotive and
aerospace research.
