About EEDA
The East of England Development Agency (EEDA) is the driving force behind sustainable economic growth and regeneration in the East of England.
EEDA's task is to improve the region's economic performance and ensure the East of England remains one of the UK's top performing regions.
EEDA is one of nine English regional development agencies (RDAs). Click here to visit the national website and learn more about RDAs.
EEDA has three key roles:
- setting and shaping the direction of economic development in the East of England
- persuading and influencing others to bring resources together to find innovative ways to solve challenging economic issues
- investing in imaginative projects that challenge the norm and will have a significant impact on economic development in the East of England.
