Located in the centre of the United Kingdom, the Midlands is both the heartbeat and the engine-room of the nation's economy. The Midlands is home to one of the most important Life Sciences ecosystems in the UK. More than 1200 life science companies are based in the region and we have the second largest concentration of MedTech companies in the UK and it is a major centre for clinical research which stems from its high number of world class universities, research centres and incubators.

The area is designed to encourage collaboration and productivity.
