Opportunity Peterborough was founded in 2005 as an urban regeneration company. Five years later our remit evolved to lead the city’s economic development and inward investment activity. We’re a private not-for-profit business, wholly owned by Peterborough City Council.

As an economic development company, Opportunity Peterborough’s core responsibilities include:

• marketing Peterborough and the wider region to visitors and businesses to drive up footfall and attract inward investment, working with investors to make their landing as smooth as possible.
• supporting the growth and development of local companies, connecting them with the suppliers, experts, and services providers they need to thrive and innovate. We also run the Smart Manufacturing Alliance, a joint venture with the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority, which aims to create a world-class manufacturing cluster in the region.

Local businesses are the lifeblood of our city’s economy, that’s why we offer support to help them set up and grow.
