Regional economic strategy

During 2006-08, the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) has been leading the development of the new, regional economic strategy (RES) for the East of England 2008-2031.

The strategy sets out a vision with bold targets and priorities so that we can drive forward as a globally-competitive region. The RES shows where we want to go and how we will get there. The strategy is owned by the region and will be delivered through the collective work of political, business and community leaders and institutions.

Vision for the region

The vision set out in the RES is for the region to be:

  • internationally competitive with a global reputation for innovation and business growth
  • a region that harnesses and develops the talents and creativity of all
  • at the forefront of the low-carbon and resource-efficient economy.

And known for:

  • exceptional landscapes, vibrant places and quality of life
  • being a confident, outward-looking region with strong leadership and where communities actively shape their future.

What's next?

EEDA is now working in partnership with the East of England Regional Assembly (EERA) and Government Office for the East of England (Go-East) to develop a joint implementation plan for the RES and regional spatial strategy (RSS). The East of England Implementation Plan will set out how both strategies can be turned into action. Further information about the implementation plan can be found on this page.
