To support enhanced local economic growth, the UK government has provided a range of funds such as the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Levelling Up Funds (LUF). To effectively deliver programmes and projects using these and other funding mechanisms in your area requires you to build a comprehensive evidence base that demonstrates the impacts of your initiative.
Whether your project is driving economic growth through improvements to business support such as for entrepreneurs and new start-up businesses, enhancing productivity and supporting the growth of existing firms, or is enabling better exploitation of the UK’s strengths in research and innovation by linking with knowledge hubs including university expertise; you will need a comprehensive approach to demonstrate your impact.
