The role of the Buckinghamshire Economic & Learning Partnership (BELP) is to provide a forum through which individual Partners, significant local companies, public sector agencies and community organisations - can come together to co-ordinate their activities and act as a catalyst for the sustainable, long-term prosperity of the County of Buckinghamshire. Partners work to identify what actions need to be taken to improve the economic situation in the County and co-operate to promote activities that would not otherwise occur.

Key priorities are:

·         Making Buckinghamshire a top place to do business in Europe.

·         Ensuring that the public, private and voluntary sectors are working together to ensure the highest quality of decision-making for the economic prosperity of the County.

·         Working with all the key partners to ensure long-term sustainability.

BELP has a unique contribution to make:

·         Raising awareness of Buckinghamshire as a place to do business.

·         Building a strong evidence base to inform major decisions, particularly in the planning arena.

·         Lobbying for additional resources to sustain our economic well-being.

·         Championing new projects that will improve the business environment.

Buckinghamshire Economic & Learning Partnership always seeks to work in partnership with others, building networks, engaging in dialogue and acting strategically - to be a catalyst for change.
