Yorkshire and Humber Regional Economic Strategy (RES) 2006-15
In July 2006, Yorkshire Forward launched the Regional Economic Strategy (RES) 2006-2015. The RES provides the 10 year blueprint for economic development in Yorkshire and The Humber. It also provides a framework of common priorities around which businesses, public agencies, voluntary groups and communities can focus their investment and effort.
The strategy's six objectives are:-
1. More Businesses that last - because higher levels of enterprise are important.
2. Competitive Businesses - making indigenous businesses more productive because they innovate and invest.
3. Skilled People benefiting businesses - with talents that employers value and which offer due reward.
4. Connecting People to good jobs - because levels of employment make a big difference to people and the economy, and there is a need for more people in jobs in deprived areas.
5. Transport, Infrastructure and Environment - a strong economy needs good sustainable transport connections and to make the best of the environment and infrastructure.
6. Stronger Cities, Towns and Rural Communities - to ensure they are attractive places to live, work and invest.
