MIPIM 2018 Stand Build

The West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) formerly West Midlands Growth Company, is a new company that was established in April 2017 to create new jobs, expand existing businesses and attract new businesses and investment to the region. It is aligned to the ambitions set out in the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Strategic Economic Plan.

The WMGC has been established in partnership with Local Enterprise Partnerships, local authorities, Growth Hubs, universities and a wide range of businesses across the private sector. It focuses its core activities across Greater Birmingham and Solihull, Coventry and Warwickshire and the Black Country, with the potential and scope to deliver services in a wider Midlands context.

The WMGC is owned by the WMCA, its Constituent Members and Universities, with governance that heavily involves the private sector in the majority. Its core WMCA and local authority funding will be used to attract significant additional funding from the private sector and other sources, such as future Devolution Deals.

The WMGC works as a key partner within the Midlands Engine partnership and is charged with a coordination role for MIPIM 2018

The project is seeking to appoint an organisation who can provide stand builder services prior to, during and post the Midlands UK's attendance at MIPIM 2018.
