Intro

With an unprecedented £3billion investment - from the city centre to the coastline - and a rapidly transforming skyline, Sunderland is emerging as a prime destination for business investment. An ambitious city for ambitious businesses.

• Riverside Sunderland is recognised as one of the UK's most ambitious regeneration projects, with more than £500m of development works on-site today. The scheme will double the number of people living within Sunderland city centre and provide workspace for up to 10,000 quality jobs.
• Sunderland is already renowned as the UK headquarters of car building powerhouse, Nissan. A £1 billion investment in a new electric vehicle battery gigafactory will strengthen Sunderland's position in the global automotive and green energy sectors and align with the UK's net-zero ambitions.  And the city is home to a dynamic manufacturing community, powered by the region's loyal, hardworking workforce.
• Global players like Legal & General and Canada Life have recognised the unique potential that Sunderland offers and are investing hundreds of millions into the city's regeneration.
• Plans for the £450m Crown Works Studios in Sunderland could create 8,000 jobs in the region. This state-of-the-art film and television production complex will establish Sunderland as a production powerhouse and a major hub for the UK's creative industries.  

As Sunderland's transformation continues at pace, it is attracting national media attention and is increasingly recognised as one of the UK's most ambitious and forward-thinking cities.

Whether you're looking to relocate, expand or invest in a new venture, Sunderland is ready to help you succeed.
