Yorkshire & The Humber
Regional Economic Strategy
Yorkshire Forward’s Regional Economic Strategy (RES) sets out a vision for the region to be a ‘great place to live, work and do business that fully benefits from a prosperous and sustainable economy’.
There are three main aims:
- Enhancing and realising the potential of Yorkshire and Humberside’s people to achieve a healthy and inclusive region.
- Growing existing and new businesses to achieve sustainable economic growth and jobs.
- Utilising the full potential of Yorkshire and Humberside’s physical and cultural assets, maximising resource efficiency and conserving and enhancing the environment to achieve an integrated, sustainable economy.
The central principle of quality and pride of place binds these aims together, and the themes of sustainable development, diversity and leadership and ambition underpin the way they are delivered.
