Investment regions

The UK’s regions, each with specialist sector expertise and a wealth of support networks, offer overseas businesses many options when considering an investment location

With a population of 60 million, the United Kingdom (which comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) is a diverse and exciting option for UK and international businesses.

The UK has 12 regions, each with their own development agency whose job it is to promote economic growth in the area. They do this is by helping non-UK companies set up and expand within their region. If you’re looking to set up here, these agencies can provide comparative data across regions, in the UK and beyond.

Regional expertise varies from aerospace to food and drink, with each supported by business incubators and research and development facilities to help businesses add competitive advantage and thrive.
