The Business Start-up Strategy has been developed by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) through consultation with a broad range of start-ups, small businesses and economic development partners. These partners see the need for a clear understanding of how well new businesses are doing to help identify the issues that are holding them back. By 2010 the region aims to become the best in which to start and grow an enterprise. It aims to minimise the barriers preventing enterprises from starting up and to encourage many more people, regardless of their background and location, to create successful enterprises. To achieve this, it aims to enable everyone with the ambition to start up and grow his or her enterprise, to easily access relevant, high quality support.
The East of England European Strategy aims to create a forward-looking framework for the European activities of a wide range of stakeholders and partners in the Region and highlight development needs.
