Help influence the area’s future
3rd July 2019
Help influence the area’s future - What’s the Local Industrial Strategy (LIS) and why is it important to Business? (free event)
Business & Stakeholder events - this is an opportunity for the LEP’s wider Business & Stakeholder community to further engage with the working draft of the Local Industrial Strategy (otherwise known as the LIS). The LIS is important, because it flags up to Govt. and others what we think are, our world class potential and high value industrial sectors. Going forwards, the LIS and other strategies e.g. the HotSW Productivity Strategy could help us to attract and / or influence investment into the area. Thus, we want to further test the results of our analysis with the business community to check that we have got this right and before we submit the final version to Govt.
There will be two events, one in Devon (1st Aug) https://www.eventbrite.com/e/
and one in Somerset (7th August) https://www.eventbrite.com/e/
Although both events will be similar, the Somerset event will also have a specific focus for those interested in the Social Enterprise / Good Growth agenda. Please note that places are limited and booking is on a first come first served basis.
NB The evidence base has been extensively consulted on, and the LIS will be strongly informed by the Productivity Strategy and the Prospectus #LivingBetter which identifies the transformational and bedrock opportunities identified for the area https://heartofswlep.co.uk/wp-
The full evidence base along with all of our current LIS documents, which includes the Productivity Strategy is available here and will be updated as new documents and evidence is published https://heartofswlep.co.uk/
