The Devon Economic Partnership works to improve Devon's economy.

It is made up of representatives from the private sector, public sector and charities who meet regularly to identify, and address, the key priorities for Devon's economic development.

The 'Devon Economic Strategy' has been created by the partnership to provide a framework for the development of the county's economy to 2015. The 6 strategic priorities are:

1. Achieving sustained investment in business infrastructure and communications
2. Tackling worklessness and economic exclusion and disadvantage
3. Providing co-ordinated support to unlock the economic potential of our most disadvantaged communities
4. Developing and harnessing skills to achieve a competitive economy
5. Encouraging business start-up & growth by promoting enterprise and improving productivity through promotion of innovation and development of the knowledge economy
6. Developing Devon’s identity as England’s “greenest county"

This site provides details on how these targets are being progressed. It also contains information on skills provision and business support in Devon, as well as details of the members and minutes of the Devon Economic Partnership’s meetings.
