The strategy for growth involves supporting the existing manufacturing sector to move towards modern manufacturing by harnessing the knowledge of the local tertiary education sector (including South Downs College, Brighton University and University of Sussex).

By working with partners across Greater Brighton City Region, the city council aims is to attract public, private and EU investment, maximise the business base, create jobs and ensure that this distinctive region competes in the national and global marketplace. The Greather Brighton City Region is made up of Brighton & Hove City Council and the districts and boroughs of Lewes, Mid Sussex and Adur and Worthing.
