The South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership
Our role as a Local Enterprise Partnership is to help economic growth thrive across the South East Midlands.
Steered by a business-led Board, we work to build a strong economy by tackling barriers to sustainable growth and supporting job creation for the future prosperity of communities across the South East Midlands.
Our board identifies high-priority strategies and actions and fulfils a collective strategic leadership role.
Our executive team is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Local Enterprise Partnership and delivering funded programmes.
Our SEMLEP Ambassador programme is made up of a select cohort of influential business leaders from across the South East Midlands.
What We Do
SEMLEP has three main roles in delivering sustainable economic growth.
-
Setting the strategic priorities for the local economy. To do this, SEMLEP keeps abreast of economic trends and shocks, changes in government policy, political developments and technological advancements. Where required, we work with our partners to refine priority actions and monitor progress against key economic plans.
- Direct intervention: securing and overseeing investment in infrastructure, coordinating and enhancing business support provision to improve productivity and increase local jobs, and improving workforce skills
- Facilitating and convening partners to realise the area’s long-term growth opportunities
With responsibility for the Local Growth Fund capital investment programme and other regional growth monies, SEMLEP facilitates and manages a pipeline of investment opportunities and delivery of projects approved for funding under the programme.
