Urban Innovation Actions (UIA) is a new programme of the European Commission providing urban areas throughout Europe with resources to test new and unproven solutions to address urban challenges. Birmingham is one of the first cities to benefit from this.

USE-IT! stands for Unlocking Social and Economic Innovation Together.

Our project involves organisations and individuals working together to find and make use of social and economic opportunities in an area that covers parts of Ladywood, Soho and Smethwick.
