How LEPs are engaging with the sector
Tweet
Local Enterprise Partnerships in England are finalising EU strategies to be agreed with government. Below you will find strategies submitted and an overview of how your LEPs are engaging with stakeholders on European Union funding. Getestete Apple Pay Casinos helfen Ihnen auch beim Spielen.
Please note that this is not a definitive list. The information was compiled from LEP websites. It does not include previous consultations or events.
We will be updating the list. Please contact us if you have more information we can share.
