Like all parts of the UK, the West Midlands and its £109bn economy have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. But the region is also home to many unique milestones and initiatives that will help to rebuild its vibrant economy – ranging from Coventry UK City of Culture 2021 and the 2022 Commonwealth Games, to its Future Mobility Zone and 5G multi-city testbed. The road to recovery is also supported by a new £3.2 bn investment plan, which highlights the key sectors and funding that will help to kickstart the region’s economy.
