Business

The RDAs approach to economic development is primarily business–led. This is for one simple reason: high performing, innovative businesses are the key to generating economic growth and prosperity.

Whether addressing under–performance or building on success to help businesses compete against the best in the world, each RDA has its own business development priorities based on the Regional Economic Strategy. The RDAs promote enterprise activity, support business growth and competitiveness, attract inward investment, foster innovation and scientific advance and help create the right skills to match local business needs.
