Supporting the Region's Businesses
Home to 255,000 businesses and a strong regional economy, the
Northwest is a great place to live, work and invest.
Competitiveness, growth and efficiency are the building blocks
for securing a strong business future for the region – but the
reality of building businesses is rather more complicated, which is
why we have strategies and policies to
support businesses in the area to help
them turn their ideas for success into a reality.
A healthy economy is one that can achieve sustainable economic
growth and development. At the Agency, we are investing heavily in
the support available to businesses in the region. Our advice and financial support to businesses
includes a variety of business finance products through Solutions for Business – a suite of
publicly-funded business support. This portfolio includes advice,
loans, grants, and support for research and development, innovation
and improving your resource efficiency.
The world has a fast-paced economy and the Northwest’s business
landscape is constantly changing, so our businesses need to adapt
to survive. To aid this, we also encourage the development of
business innovation and advancements in
key business sectors.
The NWDA also promotes sustainable
consumption and production in the region, as well as supporting
the region’s businesses to become corporately responsible.
