Tees Valley Combined Authority is in the process of developing a Local Industrial Strategy (LIS) for the area. The LIS will be developed locally and agreed with Government to establish the interventions, support and funding required in Tees Valley to deliver future improvements in productivity.
In late January, a series of Sector Challenge Sessions took place. For each of the priority sectors in Tees Valley, these events were used to: test the emerging evidence base; outline the opportunities/market failures facing businesses; and establish a future vision of success. Following on from this, the Combined Authority is now looking to engage with stakeholders to explore the policy interventions that can help deliver productivity growth across all sectors. These Policy Choice Challenge Sessions will be organised by theme, based around the ‘foundations of productivity’ identified in the national Industrial Strategy. The sessions will provide an opportunity to help shape the Combined Authority’s priorities (and in turn the funding, support and policy levers sought from Government).
The sessions will take the form of a presentation, followed by a series of structured discussion groups.
