Greater Manchester Strategy

Building on the findings and recommendations of Manchester’s Independent Economic Review (MIER), New Economy took a lead role in helping to direct and coordinate the Greater Manchester Strategy (GMS). This is a landmark strategy, setting out a roadmap for a more prosperous Manchester. The strategy is the shared vision and strategic priorities of a broad range of local, regional and national partners from local government and the world of health, public protection and transport. It will be used to develop plans and programmes to meet common objectives. New Economy will play an especially important role in implementing the economic priorities of the GMS.
