Member Event: Consultation on the New Anglia LEP Investment Strategy

The Government has announced that Norfolk and Suffolk will receive around £80m (€94.5m) of European funding for the period 2014-20. This includes ERDF and ESF funding with local funding under the European rural programmes to be confirmed at a later date. We need you to help shape how we prioritise investment of future EU Funds in Norfolk and Suffolk..

As part of this process, we are holding four workshop events in late July to invite you to contribute to the process. At these events, we will be introducing the opportunity, prioritising where we should be targeting EU funding and starting to talk about potential projects.

The morning events in both locations are primarily targeted at an audience of stakeholders with a particular interest in the business support, innovation and low carbon agenda.

In the afternoons, we are focusing more on organisations with an interest in the skills, employment and social inclusion agenda. However, to ensure a rounded debate, each event will have the opportunity to explore all of the EU funding thematic objectives, so delegates will not be disadvantaged if they cannot attend their first choice session.

Events will be held on the following dates and you can book online by following the relevant link:

Monday 22nd July, 9.30am – 12.30pm at the Keystone Innovation Centre, Thetford, Norfolk IP24 1JD
