Top business advisors and representatives of support services from across the region have come together to discuss ways of working closely to help businesses get through the tough economic times.
There is more than £30 million-worth of publicly-funded business support available to companies in the region.
The business support summit, which was hosted by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA), gave all organisations that offer this support the opportunity to showcase their services and gain a better understanding of other products available.
The aim of the summit was to forge even closer links between critical forms of regional business support, so that no matter which way a business turns for help, advisors are fully aware of alternative, and perhaps more appropriate, forms of help, for which they can sign-post.
The summit builds on EEDA’s work earlier this year in plotting all forms of publicly-funded support available in the East of England on an innovative new map. The Business Map features a comprehensive range of support, from training grants through the Beyond 2010 programme to effective waste management through the Eastex “materials exchange” project.
