Welcome to the Central Technology Belt
Where technology connects with enterprise
The Central Technology Belt is about delivering the economic transformation of an area running from Birmingham, through Worcester, to Malvern along the A38.
The transformation involves moving the economy away from a reliance on motor manufacturing and related industries towards new sectors including medical technologies and advanced materials.
It is achieving this economic transformation by providing places for new and existing businesses to locate which are in close proximity to the knowledge supply chain at Aston, Birmingham and Worcester Universities.
It is providing funding to turn ideas into reality, and to help established businesses to diversify.
It is ensuring the local colleges are ready for this transformation by training the current crop of young people with the right skills for the future.
The Central Technology Belt is an area where businesses that want to embrace new technology and ideas can thrive.
