Strategic Priority 5
Strategic Priority Five:
We want to build on the Essex entrepreneurial spirit by helping companies to start-up, innovate and grow.
This will require ongoing intervention and tailored help but will be necessary in creating an economy which can compete with its international counterparts and create a more self sufficient economy, which draws benefits from, but is less reliant on, London.
A Task & Finish Group has been set up to drive forward and develop this priority. The group is committed to making a real difference in Essex.
