The North West Region

With a population of 7.3 million and home to some 266,000 businesses, the North West of England has the UK’s third largest regional economy, after London and the South East. Traditionally strong in manufacturing, digital transformation is one of the key drivers for the North West, with life sciences, financial and business services, energy, and advanced engineering as some of the main sectors. The region is today one of the UK’s top three destinations for foreign direct investments. How are Swedish businesses contributing to this development? And why are businesses looking to the North West when choosing where to invest in the UK?
