East of England Development Agency (EEDA)
EEDA has a clear mission - to improve the economy of the East of England.
So whether it’s helping businesses through the recession, supporting people to be the best they can or breathing new life into places, everything they do comes back to our mission statement.
EEDA works across the six counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Key to our success is working with partners. EEDA is uniquely placed to lead partnerships and bring people and resources together on big projects which have a major impact.
They are open, transparent, audited and accountable for our investment decisions. Each year they hold an open public meeting.
They investment decisions have a track record of delivering considerable returns. A recent independent report found that for every £1 EEDA spent, they generated a mid-point return of £4.75 for the region's economy.
