About Us

Invest Manchester, formerly known as MIDAS, is the inward investment promotion agency for Greater Manchester. Our role is simple but powerful: to attract new investment to the city region and help create and safeguard jobs.

We do this by telling Greater Manchester’s story to the world – championing its strengths, opportunities and ambition – and by providing free hands-on, practical support to businesses looking to relocate or expand here. From global corporates to high-growth SMEs, Invest Manchester has helped hundreds of companies successfully establish and scale their presence in Greater Manchester.

With deep local knowledge, global reach and a strong network across the public and private sectors, we help businesses move with confidence and succeed faster.
