Investment Trends in Greater Birmingham
Sponsored by:
The future of Greater Birmingham’s economy depends on sustained business investment and a stable environment that enables firms to plan and grow.
However, our latest Quarterly Business Report data reflects elevated operating costs and cashflow constraints resulting in subdued investment activity in the city-region.
Whilst investment in equipment edged upwards towards the end of 2025, investment in training saw a notable decline, with 27% of businesses revising their training investment downwards.
The Q1 Quarterly Business Report launch event will focus on ‘Investment Trends in Greater Birmingham,’ bringing together local government policymakers and business leaders to discuss the current investment landscape and explore where organisations are successfully unlocking investment across Greater Birmingham.
Alongside these discussions, delegates will receive a copy of the Q1 2026 Greater Birmingham Quarterly Business Report and gain insight into the latest survey results.
Join c.60 senior delegates for this insightful event, sponsored by Birmingham City University.
Attend for:
- Headline economic findings from the latest quarterly business report
- Expert panel discussion on developing and investing in workforce skills
- Networking opportunities with c.60 senior business leaders from across Greater Birmingham
