Regional Policy
A balanced, well-connected, prosperous and sustainable economy is the aim of most governments and economic development agencies. Our experienced, multi-disciplinary team regularly assists in strategy and policy development and undertakes large-scale programmes and research studies which inform policy making at local, regional and national levels. Our regional policy work is known for its clarity of thought, high quality and practical orientation.
Our experience in this area is extensive and includes:
Regional Economic Strategies and Analysis
To assist in the identification of policy priorities and economic development opportunities on the basis of robust data analysis and engagement with key stakeholders.
European Programme Development and Assessment
That helps maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of complex, multi-themed funding programmes.
Rural Development Research
That explores new ideas and options for developing sustainable and vibrant rural communities and stronger local economies.
Policy Integration
To facilitate the effective integration of important policy strands such as the environment, equal opportunities, and corporate and social responsibility in economic development, and to support the dissemination of best practice.
