We provide a cross-party voice for the East of England — highlighting its strengths in innovation, clean energy, and trade to ensure the region’s priorities are reflected in national policy.
We promote strategic investment in transport, digital and energy infrastructure to remove barriers to growth and strengthen national connectivity.
We work with universities, colleges and employers to equip people with the skills needed for high-growth sectors and future industries.
We convene MPs, Peers, local authorities, businesses and universities to develop evidence-based policy and promote long-term regional growth.
“With world-class research institutions, a skilled workforce and a major role in clean energy, the East of England offers one of the most compelling growth opportunities in the UK. From food and energy security to cutting-edge R&D, the region’s strengths are clear to see.
