Newcastle is a vibrant city with a strong and varied economy. A wide range of market leading companies have chosen to base their operations here, including Virgin Money and Sage Group. The city regularly attracts lucrative investment from overseas, and the many development projects, including the £92 million Accelerated Development Zone programme, powering economy growth and job creation.
There is currently excellent potential across a vast array of industries in Newcastle. The city is becoming increasingly renowned as a leading hub for creative and digital, boosted by two leading universities. Healthcare and science is also growing rapidly in Newcastle, and it is currently one of six 'Science Cities' in the UK. Easy access to the North Sea also means Newcastle has a strong marine industry, with investment in the sector reaching £13.5 billion in 2013.
