Setting up a business in the East of England
The East of England is the innovation capital of the UK- home to over 430,000 businesses. The country’s leading region for commercial R&D and home to Europe’s most productive and innovative Biotech and Technology clusters.
Our knowledge-driven economy is rated amongst the best in the world. Companies from across the globe choose to locate here - including large multi-national corporations such as GlaxoSmithKline, BT, Ford, BAE and Lotus.
Our thriving economy is due in large part to our heritage of research - we spend three times more than the UK average on commercial R&D. This is in addition to the world-class research activity in our leading universities.
What sets the East of England apart is the entrepreneurial spirit that exists here, to develop and capitalise on ideas and inventions. To collaborate and think innovatively about how we bring products to market.
Clusters have grown up around the region, success often breeding success. Supply chains have developed; with support services and property options catering to the specific needs of specialist companies.
We have many reasons to be proud of our region and know that we cannot do justice to the diverse economy that we have here.
