Our Region
The Enterprise M3 region offers a wealth of opportunities for residents, businesses, and investors. With a thriving £69 billion economy generating £12 billion in exports, this region surpasses the national average in productivity, job growth, and skilled workers.
Set against a backdrop of a rich natural environment, the area covers west Surrey to central and north Hampshire; bringing together towns, a city, five world-class universities, businesses, and high value sectors to form a bustling hub of innovation and opportunity.
We play a key role in supporting economic growth. This includes our Enterprise Zones and seven iconic assets – known as Jewels in the Crown – that make our area unique.
