A welcoming home to global trade

The North East is an exporting powerhouse and the Mayoral Combined Authority will build on that global reputation to maximise international opportunity. We will secure more global inward investment and increase our export output, including a focus on our cultural exports.

We will position the region to attract national institutions and refresh our international inward investment and visitor capabilities. This will be seen in our investment in infrastructure, and key sites to unlock private sector investment.


In the short term we will:

Secure more investment in
the North East that leads to
good quality jobs.

Expand our relationships
with other countries
to build links and
opportunities for North
East businesses.

Engage with potential
inward investors;
understanding their needs
and helping them overcome
barriers to locating in the
region through an inward
investment fund.

Implement refreshed
Access to Finance/Regional
Wealth programmes.
