The government has set up the Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
Its goal is to create an economy with 100,000 major businesses and create 160,000 new jobs by 2025, in an internationally significant low-carbon, knowledge-based economy balanced wherever possible with advanced manufacturing and services.
The LEP board comprises directors from businesses, local authorities, further and higher education and the voluntary sector. Councillor Sian Reid, the Leader of the city council, is currently a board member.
