Welcome

Birmingham is the regional capital of the West Midlands. It is the economic, social and cultural focus of the region, which extends north-south from Stoke-on-Trent to Ross-on-Wye and east-west from Oswestry to Rugby. Over 5 million people live in the West Midlands region.

The Listing Officer, at the Valuation Office Agency, gives each property a 'band'. Birmingham City Council then sets a charge for each band.Council Tax is set by Birmingham City Council and helps to pay for local services such as schools, roads, libraries, police, fire and rubbish collection.The Benefit Service is responsible for the administration and payment of housing benefit and council tax benefit.Social care services in Birmingham (which used to be called Social Services) are now divided into adult social care and children’s social care.We are also specifically interested in improving the information and services we offer to local businesses. In order to do that, we need your feedback.

Business Birmingham is the city's inward investment programme, operated by Marketing Birmingham, the city's public/private strategic marketing partnership.

The programme aims to make Birmingham a leading global business that attracts significant investment by showcasing the strength of the city's talent pool, its strong education base, its attractive geographic location and its scale, which enables it to absorb large business functions. The programme is also an access point to the city's strong enterprise culture and well developed business networks that have a track record of welcoming newcomers to the city.

Business Profile

Making Knowledge Work’ (MKW) is a Capitalisation project that aims to exploit ideas and foster smart sustainable growth by exchanging experiences on how regions support the process of commercialisation of R&D results.

About Us

The 14 partners observed that excellent research does not always find its way into commercially valuable innovations as excellent ideas of universities, researchers, companies and inventors in the regions are often not turned into innovative services and products. MKW bridges this gap within the innovation chain through concrete policy action involving key stakeholders and innovation actors capitalising on a range of available good practice.
