East Midlands Development Agency is one of nine Regional Development Agencies in England, set up in 1999 to bring a regional focus to economic development. Its primary goal is to increase the economic growth of the region while reducing disparities between the East Midlands and other English regions.
Its key role is to be the strategic driver of sustainable economic development, working in partnership with public, private and voluntary organisations to deliver the goals of the Regional Economic Strategy, and to be the catalyst for change in the East Midlands.
The vision is that by 2020 the East Midlands will be a flourishing region. A region made up of growing and innovative businesses. A region where skilled people are employed in good quality jobs and where everyone feels part of healthy, inclusive communities living in thriving, attractive places.
As the lead partner for Motorsport development in the UK, EMDA provides Government public funding to Learning Grid activities on behalf of a group of agencies. Learning Grid sincerely thanks EMDA for its continued support.
