ABOUT US
Our shared vision is for Norfolk to have a successful economy; an economy characterised by innovative, dynamic and sustainable businesses. A county where people are skilled and motivated with the opportunities to maximise their potential in a high quality environment.
The key to successful delivery of this vision is through partnership working. To ensure a focus and an efficient use of partners’ resources , three main approaches have been developed: delivery through sectors, themes and local areas.
The Sector Approach targets seven key business sectors as a focus for Norfolk’s economic growth.
The Thematic Approach tackles the issues, which cut across all business sectors, and these are reflected in six goals set out in the partnership Strategy. These goals are used to guide activity and identify gaps.
The Local Area Approach addresses needs at a local level as well as tackling county-wide issues.
To provide overall coordination and direction for the partnership there is a Management Board. Day-to-day coordination is provided by a small management team, who are responsible for supporting the work of the partnership.
The Partnership
Shaping Norfolk’s Future is a partnership of approximately 300 businesses and organisations spanning the private, public and voluntary sectors.
Shaping Norfolk’s Future acts as the Sub-Regional Economic Partnership for East of England Development Agency.
