The Regional Economic Strategy (RES) 2006-2015 provides the 10 year blueprint for economic development in Yorkshire and the Humber.
It provides a framework of common priorities around which businesses, public agencies, voluntary groups and communities can focus their investment and effort. The strategy is owned, and can only be delivered, by the whole region.
The Strategy's six objectives are:
-
More Businesses that last – because higher levels of enterprise are so important
-
Competitive Businesses – making indigenous businesses more productive because they innovate and invest
-
Skilled People benefiting business – with talents that employers value and which offer due reward
-
Connecting People to good jobs – because levels of employment make a big difference to people and the economy, and we need more people in jobs in deprived areas.
-
Transport, Infrastructure and Environment – a strong economy needs good sustainable transport connections and to make the best of the environment and infrastructure
-
Stronger Cities, Towns and Rural Communities – to ensure they are attractive places to live, work and invest
