Theme 2 Business development and connectivity

Significant support already exists for business advice, start-up guidance and mentoring. However, the current economic climate makes the provision of physical infrastructure difficult to achieve in the short to medium term. Nevertheless, a focus on business-to-business collaboration and networking across and within sectors will provide scope for the development of initiatives.

A list of actions of the Development and Action Plan gives more details of the actions identified and those being carried out.
