Collaborative partnerships with regional stakeholders

The West Midlands Regional Economic Development Institute (WMREDI) will be a catalyst for a step-change in regional collaboration.

We will dedicate this new collaborative space to co-locate secondments from these stakeholders, provide policy workshops and training programmes and engage national partners in WMREDI. This will enable better policy insights through collaborative research and new channels for knowledge exchange to help to rebalance the UK economy and create inclusive local economies.
