Local Enterprise Partnerships

Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) are partnerships between local authorities and businesses in England aimed at boosting economic growth and creating jobs in their regions. Each LEP identifies local economic strengths, opportunities, and challenges to tailor support for businesses. They focus on strategic projects in areas such as transport, skills, and infrastructure, often working with government and other organizations to secure funding and resources. LEPs play a vital role in fostering collaboration between public and private sectors to stimulate local economies and enhance competitiveness.
