- Yorkshire Economy
With over 5 million people and 270,000 businesses contributing to an economy
now worth over £72 billion, the Yorkshire region is as big as Ireland, Singapore
or Norway, with the fastest growth rate of any region in the UK.
Yorkshire is at the forefront of the cluster theory of economic development,
actively investing in key business sectors and building on the success of the
natural concentrations of industry in the region. This grouping means that both
academic and business experts in a variety of different fields are on hand to
contribute to conferences, exhibitions and seminars.
