Yorkshire is in the zone – Investment Zones in West and South Yorkshire

As springboards for innovation, Yorkshire’s Investment Zones are promoting growth from the heart of the UK, backed by significant funding support to help bridge barriers, unlock opportunities and supercharge the economy. Two Investment Zones are planned in Yorkshire – the South Yorkshire Investment Zone and the West Yorkshire Investment Zone.

The South Yorkshire Investment Zone, located between Sheffield and Rotherham, is the UK’s first ever Investment Zone, with a focus on developing the area’s advanced manufacturing expertise to solve society’s biggest challenges – producing clean, green heat, power and flight; tackling ill health; and harnessing technology to create more fulfilling jobs and careers in South Yorkshire. The zone also includes sites for business expansion and supply chain development.

The West Yorkshire Investment Zone will focus on boosting the region’s existing strengths in life sciences and digital technology, supporting greater research, development and innovation in HealthTech to grow investment and create new jobs.
