“Build Back Better” was launched by the Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership to rethink the way we live and work in light of COVID-19, to rebuild the economy and ensure a better future for Greater Manchester and its people. To achieve this, it is now more relevant than ever that we build upon the region’s Local Industrial Strategy and become leaders in health innovation, advanced materials and manufacturing, digital, creative and media and the green economy.

Deliver smarter and more efficient innovations for our health and social care services

Increase innovation, productivity and commercial growth in the advanced manufacturing sector

Maximise the region’s digital strengths to accelerate Greater Manchester’s ambition to become a leading European digital city

Drive clean growth to achieve carbon neutrality in the city-region by 2038

What can businesses do to help build back better?

To create a healthier, greener, smarter, more connected, more productive and overall better Greater Manchester, it will be imperative to invest in infrastructure, support young people, address inequalities in the local communities and work on delivering inclusive growth across the region.

The Charter works with businesses to improve employment standards across Greater Manchester.
