Since its inception, the Midlands Engine Observatory has provided the region with a trusted source of data in an ever-changing economic landscape. These new quarterly briefings provide a live interactive forum to share directly with partners the latest intelligence in order to continue to inform our evidence base approach to decision making at the highest levels.
This first event forms part of a series to be held every quarter and designed to share with partners accurate and timely data analysis on the state of the regional economy.
