USA

Companies in the North West continually recognise the opportunity posed by acquiring overseas assets with US remaining the most popular destination. The reciprocal appetite from international investors into the region also remains strong.

The UK/US corridor has proven to be extremely lucrative in recent years, and it is unsurprising that technology, media and telecoms businesses are frequently targeted- a sector in which the North West excels.

Japan

Championing the exciting opportunities for global investment into and out of the North West is a key focus. The region is strengthening ties with Japan whilst highlighting a wealth of local opportunities to Japanese investors.
