🚀 Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Zones: Driving Growth & Innovation
The Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Zones have played a crucial role in fostering cutting-edge R&D, boosting the local economy, and advancing key agendas like net zero and skills development. It is one of the best things we were able to drive forward at the LLEP
Since their inception, these zones have:
✅ Created 6,107 jobs (direct & indirect)
✅ Delivered 2,456 construction jobs
✅ Generated £357.3m GVA
✅ Attracted £163.8m public investment
✅ Secured £141.8m private investment
The newly released Economic Impact Assessment evaluates their journey from inception to 2022, highlighting how public-private collaborations have driven success. While the LLEP has transitioned to the Leicester and Leicestershire Business and Skills Partnership, our commitment remains strong—ensuring lasting growth and impact.
