Register for EG's event on April 26 - The golden years: How Birmingham is building a legacy

Stratford Editorial 21st Apr, 2022 Updated: 21st Apr, 2022   0

The Commonwealth Games is fast approaching in the UK’s second city, with an ambitious transformation programme forming the centrepiece off the track.

Blue-chips firms such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and HSBC have moved in, backed by the promise of HS2 and further investment in the region outlined in the Levelling Up white paper.

Record levels of inward investment can set Birmingham up to succeed for decades to come, should the city successfully apply the positive lessons of former Games hosts Manchester and Glasgow.

You’re invited to an EG event that will look to discuss the lessons that can be learned from previous hosts and what Birmingham needs to do to ensure a sustainable legacy.
