BIRMINGHAM
Birmingham: Making Local, Global
Birmingham is the largest and most densely-populated British city outside of London, where the diversity of our citizens makes local innovation globally relevant.
We host one of only two UK Life Science Opportunity Zones designated by Government outside of the South-East, with Birmingham acting as an enabling gateway to the wider regional West Midlands population of >5.5million through a digitally-connected network of 17 hospitals, with more than 20 years of longitudinal data. We have world-leading academic and clinical
strengths in data, digital, diagnostics, and devices. These strengths bring the regional commercial power to develop research and accelerate market access taking innovative patient centred healthcare solutions from early development to real life application, driven by unrivalled access to usable healthcare data. More than a fifth of all UK clinical trials run through Birmingham, which has one of the largest clusters of trials expertise in Europe, and the UK’s only joint NHS-academic Centre for Regulatory Science & Innovation driving novel standards, tools and future regulatory change in healthcare at a national and global level with worldwide partners. Over 600 regional HealthTech and MedTech businesses (more than 200 based in Birmingham) employ more than 17,000 people, and with over
32,000 current students in relevant disciplines across our local universities, there is a strong pipeline of future talent supporting growth. The Birmingham Health Partners strategic
alliance between local NHS and university partners leverages our unique ecosystem, enabling the full spectrum of translational medicine by enabling integrated, multidisciplinary working to help accelerate answers to complex healthcare issues for patients locally and globally, informed by a dynamic strategy that enables our organisations and our people to adapt and respond swiftly to changing circumstances.We are home to the UK’s first multi-city 5G test bed; the country’s largest genomic laboratory hub, incorporating Oxford; globally-leading, clinically-integrated testing facilities for MedTech; and two of eight nationally-designated Health Data Research Hubs. Our £225million Birmingham Health Innovation Campus development with Bruntwood SciTech has helped position the region as a focal point for the Government’s Silicon Valley-style ‘Innovation Accelerator’ programme aiming to create new jobs and boost regional economies across the UK, as one of three national sites selected for investment. All of this is in a location within 4 hours drive of
90% of the entire country’s population, home of the UK’s fastest growing airport and at the heart of the National Rail network, in close proximity to London with a further £5.1bn investment to expand rail, tram and bus rapid transit systems for local connectivity.
