15 What we do The Greater Lincolnshire LEP is a public/private sector partnership whose aim is sustainable economic growth.

Our goal is to help create a dynamic economy where businesses can prosper and we will focus on the following key growth sectors: Agri-food Manufacturing Visitor economy Renewables Ports & logistics Health & care

16 What can we do? The LEP is a partnership, not a bureaucracy. It does not employ hundreds of staff or control major capital budgets. We know that partners, individually and collectively, have primary roles to play in realising our vision. We are clear that the LEP should focus where it can add value to the efforts of others. leadership role means acting as strong advocates for our area an enabling body and a dynamic catalyst for change identify the very high priority actions which must happen collectively, use the talents and resources of LEP members and partners, to ensure that these actions take place
