LEP (Local Enterprise Partnerships)

Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) are regional collaborations in England where local authorities, businesses, and organizations come together to promote economic growth. They develop strategies to create jobs, support businesses, and improve infrastructure in their areas. LEPs act as a bridge between the government and the local community, ensuring that local needs are considered in economic planning. Funded partly by government money, they aim to make regions more prosperous by encouraging investment and innovation tailored to their unique strengths and challenges.
