Inward Investment

Are you an overseas-owned company looking to invest in the East of England?

The East of England has over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industries, and is now also at the forefront of expanding new technologies including:

Biomass
Wind
Wave
Tidal

The region is next to two of the three areas identified by the Crown Estate and UK Government for offshore wind development.

The ground-breaking activity already taking place here means that the region has a plentiful supply of skilled staff, specialist training courses, R&D, innovation centres and invaluable industry bodies such as EEEGR and Renewables East.

The region also has excellent logistical advantages. Ports such as Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft are experienced in handling large-scale structures for the energy industry. London is within easy reach and we are close to the growing international airports of Norwich, London Luton and London Stansted for easy UK and international travel. Our world class universities collaborate with business to push the frontiers of science and industry. Add to that some of the best shopping, leisure opportunities, environment and weather in the UK and the East of England really is First for excellence, First for lifestyle.

UKTI, supported by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) can help you with:

the identification of suitable premises;
the supply of local and regional socio-economic data;
details of personnel availability and salary levels;
information about towns and cities;
information about quality of life;
an introduction to business, university and research networks;
arranging visits in the region to view potential sites and meet prospective business partners;
public relations to announce your presence in the region.

Once you are here, UKTI and a range of regional partners will also provide ongoing support for your business.
