Support from across the region<br />

This regional economic strategy sets out a clear vision of what needs<br />

to be done to ensure a prosperous <strong>future</strong> <strong>for</strong> the East of England. It has<br />

bold priorities and targets that we must observe and meet if we are to<br />

maintain and enhance <strong>our</strong> global competitiveness. It also identifies<br />

what the region needs to do to respond to the increasing pressures of<br />

globalisation and the challenges of climate change.<br />

What we, as the people and organisations that make up the East of<br />

England, must now do is take positive, collective <strong>action</strong> on the <strong>action</strong>s<br />

outlined in this strategy to secure <strong>our</strong> region’s <strong>future</strong> and make sure<br />

that it continues to thrive as a great place in which to live, work and<br />

do business.<br />
