Increase people’s earning power and create an inclusive, clean and resilient local economy.
The Local Industrial Strategy for the West Midlands, published in 2019, sets out a long-term vision for the West Midlands to increase people’s earning power and create an inclusive, clean and resilient local economy.
GBSLEP worked closely with its regional partners - the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), Black Country LEP and Coventry and Warwickshire LEP, and hundreds of local businesses to ensure that the Local Industrial Strategy highlights the significant opportunities that the West Midlands is ideally placed to capitalise on.
