North West Regional Development Agency

The NWDA's core purpose is to maximise the region’s competitiveness to build a stronger economy.

Competitiveness is the key to England’s Northwest economic success – the essential element in the development of our region’s businesses, its people and its places.

We work to maximise the region’s competitiveness, delivering effective responses to both short-term challenges and longer-term opportunities.  We do this by supporting the region’s businesses, by assisting new startsups, by encouraging investment in the region, by leading the region’s £119 billion economy in innovative and sustainable directions and by delivering real opportunities for the seven million people who live within our boundaries.

We use our economic expertise to shape the growth opportunities of important industry sectors and help guide the development of the skills needed to match our economic ambitions.

Our investment is carefully targeted at initiatives that unlock the widest possible economic benefit.  Our work is set out in the Regional Economic Strategy. We are currently developing a new single Regional Strategy called RS2010.
