Why York & North Yorkshire?
Our central position in the UK, and quick access to the M1, M62 and A1, makes doing business easy. And with London and Manchester under two hours away by direct rail, our organisations and people are well-connected and have the competitive edge.
We boast strategically important assets, including world-leading universities and research centres. These support innovation, scale-ups and solutions to global challenges such as healthy ageing, food security, harnessing AI, and clean energy.
We also have easy access to freeports, infrastructure and facilities in neighbouring regions such as Tees Valley, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and the Humber.
Sectoral strengths
Working with external partners such as the Department for Business and Trade, and Innovate UK, our team will provide businesses with tailored support, helping to make their move to York and North Yorkshire a successful one.
And once up-and-running in the region, we can continue to provide specialist, bespoke support through our Growth Hub.
Local Growth Plan
York and North Yorkshire has developed its Local Growth Plan, one that demonstrates how it will be a trailblazing City Region Rural Powerhouse, driving growth for the UK in the North. We will build on our high-performing economy to raise productivity further and deliver transformative economic growth.
This will be addressed through targeting growth within our competitive advantage sectors.
