Organisations are collaborating on a new £12.5 million programme that will strengthen and diversify supply chains, helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the wake of the devastating Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack that adversely impacted hundreds of businesses.
Named The West Midlands Investment Zone - Supply Chain Transition Programme, the concept comes from West Midlands Combined Authority, the Mayor of the West Midlands and Business Growth West Midlands.
Its aim is to support hundreds of SMEs throughout the region to tap into emerging markets at a time when many suppliers, including to the automotive and aerospace sectors, are facing an uncertain time.
