South Yorkshire is one of the most attractive areas of the UK in which to locate a business. We are renowned for being a hardworking city region with a strong, dynamic, skilled workforce; we’re open for business and ready to welcome you.

There are strategic benefits of choosing the region with excellent transport connections and the opportunity to work alongside research organisations and businesses in clusters of specialist expertise, which include advanced manufacturing, health & well-being and digital.

Sheffield delivers on other fronts, too; situated on the edge of the Peak District and being one of the greenest cities in the UK (around 22 per cent of the city is made up of greenery), businesses that locate here ensure that staff can enjoy a superb quality of life.

Our city region holds great appeal to foreign direct investors. As one of the best performing cities outside of London, we offer a wealth of investible propositions, with long term growth opportunities.

New technologies, new markets, new innovations

Sheffield has always been a place for innovation – stemming from our reputation as the ‘Steel City’. Since the invention of crucible steel at the beginning of the industrial revolution, to discovering stainless steel in the early 20th century, Sheffield has always led from the front.

With an enviable location at the heart of the UK, super-connected transport links, great residential facilities, a wealth of talent and expertise that are pushing the boundaries of industry 4.0; South Yorkshire really does offer great potential as a place in which to work, live and invest.
