The foremost element of Advantage West Midlands is the development and delivery of the West Midlands Economic Strategy.

EEDA is adopting a new way of working which emphasises our role as a regional leader and catalyst and which will help us influence the £25 billion of public spending in the East of England. With a budget of £90 million in 2004/5 EEDA’s challenge is to deliver sustainable economic growth with a budget that equals only 0.1 per cent of the region’s gross domestic product (GDP).
