Manchester, the original modern city, is now firmly recognised as one of Europe's premier business locations - a place with outstanding commercial, cultural and creative activities, a place for investment and expansion and a place distinguished by the constantly improving quality of life enjoyed by its residents.

MIDAS, acting on behalf of the ten Local Authorities of Greater Manchester, aims to attract inward investment into the City Region by promoting Manchester as a leading European business location as well as a complementary proposition to the UK’s capital, London.
