-
Job creation
-
Tourism development
-
Own business growth
-
Support for other small business/ enterprise stimulation
-
Contribution to a sense of unique and positive place
-
Cultural development
-
Support for regional heritage
-
Community development/ community cohesion
-
Primary and secondary education
-
Training links with higher education institutions
-
Research links with universities and research institutes
-
Skills development
-
Vocational advocacy work
-
Partnerships within EU

International partnerships, especially with emergent super-economies such as China and India
-
Support for regional biodiversity

Questions and discussion welcome!
