WLEP is developing the strategy and putting plans in place

Defining the challenge – what’s missing?No strategic activity Innovation community is

slowly evolving

Stakeholders and initiatives building momentumMost business support entities

focussed on ‘business as usual’, not disruptive

innovation

Programmes are reactive, rather than pro-active

‘Passive’ support, rather than interventionist

‘Signposting’ to opportunities rather than driving change


Planning: Inspiring Innovation

Building a creative and dynamic market

Shaping new opportunities

Invention

Innovative proposals

Innovation


Planning: A Creative Economy

Users Training

Support Incubation Space


One Vision. One Plan. One County.

Plan Do Review

Remember the what, where and when?
