In terms of productivity the BBP can be described as an economic powerhouse with a strong core of innovative and technology based businesses which position it as a key player in advanced manufacturing and industry 4.0. The key drivers of the local economy for export, employment, value added and local expenditure are advanced manufacturing, professional scientific and technical services, construction and wholesale trade. Much of the wholesale trade sector is closely connected to the manufacturing sector through well developed local supply chains which deliver significant economic benefits for the region.
