DRIVING ECONOMIC GROWTH

The Greater Lincolnshire LEP works with the public and private sector to deliver sustainable economic growth. We want to help our business sectors increase productivity and innovation, create new employment opportunities and develop infrastructure that supports economic growth.

We are working hard within the Midlands engine, the Humber Estuary and the Northern Powerhouse to deliver for Greater Lincolnshire. We play an important role in the UK economy; we feed the country through our expertise in food production and agri-tech, power the country through our low carbon and power engineering sector, and entertain through our thriving visitor economy.

These are exciting times for Greater Lincolnshire

We think Greater Lincolnshire is alive with opportunities and a truly great place to live, work and do business.

That's why as your Local Enterprise Partnership we are securing funds from government to deliver our ambitious plans for growth, and to ensure the business community of Greater Lincolnshire is being heard loud and clear.
