West Midlands Futures is exploring a long-term vision for the region and our place in the national and global economy.

Working with local, regional and national partners, we are developing a deeper understanding of the grand challenges and opportunities facing the West Midlands now and over the years ahead.

This understanding will help partners to generate and test ideas for how we can collectively bring about inclusive regional economic transformation, for the benefit of people, businesses and communities.

Updates and further work about West Midlands Futures will be posted on this webpage, and you can contact the team by emailing research@wmca.org.uk.
