The Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) is the regional development agency for the North West England region and is a non-departmental public body.[1].
The Agency leads the economic development and regeneration of England's Northwest. As a business-led organisation, the NWDA provides a crucial link between the needs of business and Government policies. As such, a major responsibility for the Agency is to help create an environment in which businesses in the region can flourish through offering business support, encouraging new start-ups, matching skills provision to employer needs and bringing business investment into the region.
The Agency funds or manages a series of financial support products for businesses in the region. Information is available at the NWDA's Finance for Business Website
Geographically, the Agency covers Greater Manchester including Manchester and Salford, Merseyside including Liverpool, Cheshire and Warrington, Cumbria, including the Lake District and Lancashire including Preston.
The Agency is one of the principal players in the creation of Mediacity:uk in Salford Quays, shortly to be home for a number of relocated BBC Departments as well as a major creative and digital village in its own right
