EEDA's year in review - highlights 2007/08
About EEDA:
The East of England Development Agency (EEDA) is the driving force behind sustainable growth and regeneration in the East of England. The region comprises of the six counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk and the unitary authorities of Peterborough, Luton, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock. The vision for the East of England is to create a leading economy, founded on a world class knowledge base, creativity and enterprise.
Our role is to:
- lead and mobilise partners and deploy resources to deliver economic growth in line with the demands and direction of local businesses and organisations
- deliver measurable, practical programmes that make a positive difference to people's lives and businesses
- invest in large, long term projects that have real impact on communities and people's lives
To do this we organise around four activity areas:
- Business Support
- Enterprise Hubs
- Investing in Communities
- Regional Renaissance
To deliver this stretching programme, EEDA had an expenditure budget for 2007/08 of £153 million - less than 0.5 per cent of total public spending in the region.
