Newcastle-Upon-Tyne 

​

Newcastle’s economy is evolving rapidly, supported by targeted government investment including the deployment of MPIF 2. The city is now home to a growing number of financial institutions, fintech innovators, and high-growth firms across energy, health, and digital sectors and is primed for transformation.

​
Beyond financial services, Newcastle is experiencing momentum in:

 

• Financial Services & Fintech: A rising fintech hub with deep roots in banking, insurance, and compliance. Newcastle is part of the North’s broader financial services engine, which employs over 360,000 people and contributes significantly to UK GVA.

• Digital and tech: A thriving cluster of software, AI, and cybersecurity firms, many supported by Northern accelerator programmes.

• Life sciences and health innovation: Anchored by the Newcastle Helix and NHS partnerships, the city is a leader in ageing research and medtech.

• Clean energy and sustainability: With deep roots in engineering and a growing offshore wind supply chain, Newcastle is central to the UK’s net zero ambitions.
