Abstract
This report set out to better understand the external funding environment at LEP level, answering the following questions:
1. How does the value of funding won at LEP-level (both funding directly secured by LEPs and funding allocated to organisations in LEP areas) differ? Which LEPs are most successful in winning external funding?
2. Can differences in which LEPs are most successful in obtaining funding be identified according to the type of funding?
3. How is the funding secured related to LEPs’ economic strategies and emerging industrial strategies?
4. What are the key challenges that LEPs and their partners encounter in obtaining external funding?
5. Which strategies are used by LEPs and their partners that are most effective in securing external funding?
6. How do LEPs perceive their future ability to secure funding for projects within their region?
