The UK has secured a record-breaking £150 billion investment package from United States companies during the US President’s State Visit, marking the largest commercial deal ever announced in connection with a visit of this kind.
The agreements are expected to create more than 7,600 high-quality jobs across the UK and reinforce the nation’s standing as a hub for clean energy, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing.
In a statement on September 18, Prime Minister Keir Starmer hailed the package as a key step in delivering his government’s economic promises.
“Jobs, growth and opportunity are what I promised for working people, and it’s exactly what this State Visit is delivering,” Starmer said.
The investments span every region of the country, including 1,000 new roles in Belfast and 6,000 jobs distributed from Glasgow to Warrington, the Midlands, and the Northeast.
Roles will range from apprenticeships in clean energy to careers in biotechnology and artificial intelligence, supporting the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy.
“When we are back, British brilliance, champion our world-class industries, and forge deeper global alliances, especially with friends like the US, we help shape the future for generations to come,” the Prime Minister added.
Major US commitments include a £90 billion pledge from Blackstone over the next decade, a £3.9 billion investment from Prologis focused on life sciences and logistics, and a £150 million plan by American tech company Amentum that will create over 3,000 jobs across several UK regions.
