Now is a great time to partner with us. The scheme has already secured £27m funding from the UK Government, and has attained Investment Zone status.
We are also in active discussions with businesses seeking to locate at the Green Innovation Corridor and be part of our community of innovators. Wolverhampton’s wider regeneration programme is coming forward at pace – delivering new homes and mixed-use developments that will further enhance the city’s attractiveness to prospective Corridor occupiers.
Considerable work has been undertaken to develop the Green Innovation Corridor proposition and case for investment. The scheme already has a clear sense of direction and ambition. Joining us at this stage provides an opportunity to further shape the scheme and its offer to future occupiers.
There are a range of opportunities for the private sector to engage with the Green Innovation Corridor. We want to talk to prospective partners to explore:
- Opportunities to purchase sites within the Corridor for development and redevelopment – as a developer, owner-occupier or to secure future tenants
- Partnering with us to redevelop all or parts of the Corridor, to attract major investment and curate a distinctive innovation district
We’re seeking to work with potential partners who:
- Have experience in delivering innovation-led developments
- Can work with us to co-create an inspiring environment for the learners, businesses, residents and entrepreneurs who will call the Green Innovation Corridor home – fostering a vibrant and enterprising community
- Are committed to sustainable and inclusive development, and will work with us in engaging the communities we serve
- Want to deliver a lasting legacy for the city and region, unlocking significant economic growth and investment
As your partners, we can offer:
- A proactive and forward-thinking local authority, ready to work with you to bring your ambitions to life
- A progressive university partner with global reach and truly distinctive R&D and business support offer
- Government backing with £20m UK Government funding and £7m Investment Zone funding
- Cost-competitive location with excellent transport links and young, diverse talent pool
- A solid track record of delivering transformational regeneration projects, and securing public and private sector investment
