Plan to drive economic growth in Sheffield given the go ahead

A ten-year plan to drive economic growth and improve the lives of people living, working and doing business in Sheffield, has been approved. 

Sheffield already has a thriving economy and is a world-leader in many business sectors. From having significant advanced manufacturing capabilities, to a flourishing tech sector, multiple innovation assets, as well as a thriving cultural scene and a global reputation as the Outdoor City.

Worth £15.7bn, the economy has major assets of global and national significance, and the city has a successful track-record of attracting investment, talent, major events and visitors alike.

But a new ten-year plan, which was today (Wednesday 11th December) approved by a Strategy and Resources Committee, sets out ambitions to make the most of the city’s economic strengths in order to deliver long-term growth for the city.

The plan showcases the Council’s commitment to Sheffield’s communities, businesses and residents to create a thriving city now and in the years to come.

It sets out a future vision for the city and a comprehensive blueprint for the city’s economic success and investment and partnering opportunities.
