Partnership Programmes
Underpinning our Partnership’s Delivery

Capitalising on corridors for growth
Our work on strategic corridors unites partners from across the Midlands to support key routes across our region that handle most people, freight and business travel.

Supporting workplace mental health across the Midlands
The Mental Health and Productivity Pilot collaborates with a range of partners to provide an evidence-informed, cost-effective and sustainable resource that supports mental wellbeing at work, reduces the stigma associated with poor mental health and aims to increase productivity.

Investing in our region’s small businesses
The Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF) supports smaller businesses in the Midlands through a range of finance options, recognising how vital our region’s thriving SMEs are to achieving economic growth through enterprise.

Leading in R&D and manufacturing
The Midlands is the home of UK manufacturing, with a range of diverse strengths, led by innovative businesses and world-leading research centres. We generate £36 billion GVA into the UK economy each year, with huge potential for more.
