The East of England Implementation Plan will be approved, owned and its performance overseen by:
- EERA and, in future, East of England Councils, the post-SNR regional grouping of local authorities
- the Regional Partnership Group
- the EEDA Board in conjunction with the Strategy Committee and future regional stakeholder groupings.
| RES goal programme development and implementation will be overseen by: | |
| RES goal | Principal regional governance mechanism |

| Innovation | Science and Industry Council |
| Digital Economy | Digital Partnership |

RES toolbox
Peterborough plays a significant role in delivering the East of England's regional economic strategy. The city council is working with partners to drive the city's ambitious growth programme and create 20,000 new jobs. Two-thirds need to be in high-technology companies, particularly in environmental goods and services, to build on our status as a leading Environment City.
