City-REDI and\u00a0the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce\u00a0are working together to produce the Birmingham Economic Review <\/strong><\/em>for 2018<\/em>. This annual review is an in-depth exploration of the economy of England\u2019s second city and is a high-quality resource for organisations seeking to understand the city to inform research, policy or investment decisions.<\/p>\n The 2018 edition is being organised according to the five foundations of the UK\u2019s Industrial Strategy, aimed at creating a national economy that boosts productivity and earning power throughout the UK. It will help to inform Birmingham\u2019s approach to the UK\u2019s Industrial Strategy for achieving a more productive and inclusive local economy that draws on the strengths of the city and works inclusively across industry, academia and civil society.<\/p>\n We have structured the report this year around the 5 pillars of the government\u2019s national industrial strategy: ideas, people, infrastructure, business environment and places.<\/p>\n Professor Simon Collinson, director of City-REDI, said:<\/p>\n \u201cThere are signs that the Birmingham city-region is becoming more creative, innovative and attractive as a location for R&D investment, leading firms and talented people. This momentum provides an excellent base for our city-region to weather Brexit uncertainties and benefit from the new opportunities presented by rapid global change. To build on this momentum we need strong partnerships between local organisations and a coherent regional industrial strategy underpinned by intelligent analysis to support informed decision-making. I hope you will agree that this report and the wider collaboration between the University of Birmingham and local partners helps<\/u> us meet these challenges.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n A launch event for the Birmingham Economic Review 2018<\/em><\/strong> will be held at the University of Birmingham on the 12th<\/sup>\u00a0October 2018, 07:30 \u2013 09:30.<\/p>\n To book a place and find out more, please\u00a0click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" City-REDI and\u00a0the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce\u00a0are working together to produce the Birmingham Economic Review for 2018.
