GW4 meetings

I travelled to Exeter University today to meet with colleagues from our GW4 alliance for a Board meeting. We agreed to develop a five year strategy for the alliance. In the afternoon I sat on the GW4 Building Communities workstream panel to review the initiator and accelerator fund applications. It was agreed to award funding to 13 initiator applications and five accelerator applications, totalling £459,000. It was great to meet with our GW4 colleagues again and be in a position for us to further develop initiatives.
