East Midlands Development Agency (emda) is one of nine Regional Development Agencies in England set up in 1999 to bring a regional focus to economic development.
Our shared vision is that by 2020 the East Midlands will be a flourishing region; a region made up of growing and innovative businesses; a region where skilled people are employed in good quality jobs; a region where we all feel part of healthy, inclusive communities and live in thriving, attractive places.
