The West Midlands region is being showcased to investors in the US and Canada on a special transatlantic trade mission this week.
Mayor Andy Street is on the week-long trip which will begin in Birmingham’s twin city Chicago before heading to Toronto where he will lead a West Midlands showcase event featuring the arrival in the city of the Queen's Baton Relay.
The relay is one of the events leading up to the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham this summer and which will visit 72 nations and territories by the time the games commence in July.
