All seven of the North East authorities, with
the North East Local Enterprise Partnership, are coming together to showcase
all that the region has to offer at the UK’s premier international business
event next week.
Members of the North East Combined Authority
(NECA) – made up of Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, Northumberland, North
Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland councils – are uniting with the North
East LEP to provide a single gateway for investors looking to work with the
region, called Invest North East England,
and will be presenting the North East’s offer at the International Festival for
Business (IFB) in Liverpool. Invest North East England will make it easier for
developers and enterprises interested in setting up in the area to get the
support they need to do business here.
Providing a one-stop-shop for inward investment
in the North East, the service will allow the seven local authorities to
present one shared image of the region, playing to the area’s strengths in
manufacturing and engineering; life sciences and healthcare; software and
technology; subsea oil and gas, new and renewable energy; and professional,
financial and business
services
The authorities will attend the IFB on Monday
and Tuesday, showcasing the region at Made in the UK, a series of conferences
that focus on the manufacturing sector with anticipated attendance by
developers and senior business people from the UK and overseas.
Chairman of NECA, Coun Simon Henig, said: “It is
about showing the world what we have to offer in the North East, with one
shared voice and a set of common strengths.”
