Plymouth is Britain’s Ocean City, a confident and growing city that is undergoing a cultural revolution, with strengths across business sectors that provide a unique and diverse range of opportunities for businesses and individuals.

Plymouth has world-class connectivity, a network that accelerates growth and enables business investment, and one of the highest rates of superfast broadband penetration in the UK. It is also one of the best places to start a business in the country, according to Startup Geek, outperforming cities many times its size.

Plymouth is a global centre of excellence for marine science and technology, with one of the largest clusters of expertise in Europe.

The city benefits from excellent transport links, with an international airport under an hour away and 24 daily services to London, including three high-speed ones.
