We at The Women's
Organisation along with Manchester as a city region is committed to
entrepreneurship.
Manchester has for centuries been at the heart of shaping the UK’s
economy. Since the days of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester
has played a pivotal role in developing how the world does business.
The ten metropolitan boroughs of Greater Manchester – Bolton, Bury, Manchester,
Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, and Wigan – represent
the most significant city region economy outside London.
As the UK’s second-largest economy, Manchester is an important economic
engine driving the country’s growth and prosperity and has a GVA of £59.6
billion. Since 2010, the city has seen an overall increase in employment
of 68,154 jobs, which makes it the seventh best for growing employment in the
UK.
Today, Greater Manchester’s economic growth is driven by its diverse
industry base, which has specialisms in business, finance & professional
services, manufacturing, health innovation and creative, digital and
technology.
Manchester’s business strengths
have helped it to develop a strong reputation as a competitive place
to do business. It is anticipated that
the levels of job creation in Manchester could outpace that of cities such as
Berlin, Tokyo, and Paris between 2015 and 2020.*(* Beyond the City
2015, Oxford Economics)
Everywhere around the city development is taking
place delivering new office blocks and homes. The north-west is now home
to major broadcasters such as the BBC and ITV at MediaCityUK in
Salford Quays. Additionally, Greater Manchester Internalisation
Strategy (GMIS) has plotted a course for success by 2035 centred around eight
critical priorities including being the global gateway for the UK and the North
and becoming a magnet for foreign direct investment in key growth
sectors. Upgraded transport, affordability and a digitally skilled
workforce are helping to bolster this strategy.
