Local businesses urged to help shape D2N2 Strategic Economic Plan
Free public events will be staged by the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership, to consult with businesses and other organisations on how they think the LEP area’s economy should develop in the next decade up to 2030.
D2N2 is the private sector-led Local Enterprise Partnership of business, local authorities, skills and training providers, and community and voluntary organisations which promotes economic growth across Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
It manages over £500million in resources to invest in its business growth, capital projects, infrastructure, employment promotion and other services. Programmes are guided by its long term, Strategic Economic Plan (or SEP); which is now being refreshed and updated to meet the LEP area’s changing economic needs. A copy of the new, draft plan can be viewed here.
Free D2N2 LEP consultation events will take place at the Proact Stadium, Chesterfield, on:
- Wednesday November 7th – 1.15pm to 3.15pm.
- Thursday November 15th – 9.30am to 12.30pm
All events will feature a presentation on the Strategic Economic Plan proposals and an open discussion, for the audience to join in. There will also be information on D2N2’s wider work promoting economic growth in the area.
Elizabeth Fagan, Chair of the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “This is an important opportunity for individual businesses to directly help influence the direction of the D2N2 LEP area’s economy, for years to come. These events will look at issues such as the key sectors, new industries, infrastructure, skills gaps, technological advances, employment needs and many other things we should be focusing on.”
“I would urge any business or organisation with a stake in the D2N2 LEP area’s future economic growth to attend, and give us their views. We very much look forward to hearing what they have to say.”
