The West Midlands is both at the very heart of England and at the heart of much European Union activity in this country. It is a region of contrasts and diversity, between urban and rural settlements; cosmopolitan with vibrant multi-ethnic and multi-faith communities.

Historically, the urban areas have been internationally famous for making a wide variety of products. The region remains the capital of UK manufacturing with the motor industry being the largest. Other key sectors include aerospace, plastics & rubber processing, software, food & drink, electronics and telecommunications. The region also has the fastest growing service sector in the UK and the largest concentration of professional firms outside London. New technologies for the medical and media sectors are also crucial to the West Midlands.
