Brighton council is setting out a profile of business and employment opportunities in the city
Talks have been held on how Brighton can boost its post-recession economy.
Brighton council has reviewed its economic plan because its last strategy, for 2008 to 2016, was conceived before the financial crash.
Councillors heard how the recession had stalled many projects across the city and seen increases in business costs.
Councillor Geoffrey Bowden said: "This is a city that seduces people and we want to seduce more investors and create more jobs for the city."
The chairman of the economic development and culture committee said plans for the city included attracting new business, retaining small and medium-sized enterprises and growing the local economy.
Brighton had a global reputation for digital excellence, strengths in creative and green industries, and above-average levels of entrepreneurs, graduates and business start-ups, he said.
For the first time, the council would be setting out a comprehensive profile of the city's business and employment opportunities, Mr Bowden added.
He said the prospectus would help to promote Brighton to audiences in the city, across the UK and around the world.
