Scenarios about 'Midlands Engine'
The Midlands Engine is a government-backed initiative launched in 2015 to boost economic growth across the central region of England, encompassing both the West and East Midlands. This partnership between public sector organizations, businesses, and universities aims to address regional productivity gaps, attract investment, and strengthen infrastructure in an area historically significant for its industrial heritage during the Industrial Revolution. In alternate history scenarios, the Midlands Engine often represents divergent paths of British industrial development or regional power balancing within the United Kingdom.
