There are currently 24 of these zones dotted up and down Great Britain each with a specific aim or focus including pharmaceuticals, engineering, tech, logistics, transport, retail, life sciences and green industries.

Each area offers specific benefits which include up to 100% Business Rates relief (worth up to £275,000) over a 5-year period, Enhanced Capital Allowances for investment in plant and machinery, lease payment holidays, low-rent incubator units, development funding the possibility to write off corporation tax
