To support the next phase of the programme (Global Growth Programme 3.0), we are seeking to appoint a third-party consultancy to design and deliver a lead generation campaign targeting foreign-owned tech companies (with a minimum of 10% foreign ownership).
While the campaign will promote the West Midlands as a key entry and growth point, we are not solely focused on businesses new to the UK. Companies already operating in other parts of the UK are also within scope.
