the road to net zero

Our ambitions for delivering growth through a targeted investment programme centred around decarbonisation.

Fifty500 Midlands Growth Corridor is an investment plan developed by Staffordshire County Council, along with other local authorities forming a Strategic Alliance, regional bodies, businesses and academics, which consists of six investment propositions aiming to drive decarbonisation of industry and transport and deliver jobs and economic growth along the route of the A50 and A500.

Decarbonisation of the corridor is central to future growth and is supported by six investment propositions below

These investment propositions outline how the strength of the existing ecosystem presents an exceptional opportunity – business, industries, academia and the existing and proposed assets along the A50/A500 that can be leveraged to support delivery. 

We’re working with government, with an ask of £3m over three years to unlock these opportunities and develop outline business cases. 

Quicker

Experience a seamless transition from road to rail freight that will drive a sustainable future and free the passenger road network from congestion.

Imagine a thriving regional supplier park where innovation flourishes, development timelines are accelerated, and costs are reduced, creating endless employment opportunities.

Journey across the Corridor with ease and speed, boosting your confidence in the transport network and enhancing your overall travel experience.

Smarter

The Midlands Growth Corridor is rich in its manufacturing and innovation assets, from clean fuel development, hydrogen innovation to the delivery of world class research. Established businesses and leading universities along the corridor are at the forefront of growth.

Unlock the power of smart factory technology, enabling businesses within the Corridor to reach new heights of efficiency and productivity while attracting top-tier talent to the region.

Embrace collaboration and synergy through innovation factories across the corridor, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of creativity and business growth.

Greener

With the Midlands Industrial Energy Plan, businesses and industries along the corridor will have access to localised clean fuel, revolutionising their operations and reducing carbon footprint.

We’re aiming to create a new industry super cluster, delivering growth through a targeted investment programme centred around decarbonisation.

Join us in forging a Zero Emission Valley across the Corridor, as we pave the way for cutting-edge technologies like Zero Emission Vehicles.
