Unlocking Norfolk's Potential

The event described in this report is an example of how
universities can convene key stakeholders in an impartial environment that nurtures expertise. UEA holds strategic intelligence
locally that can mobilise wider assets in the region. Universities
have established support for economic growth in other areas of the
country, but what would this look like for Norfolk? This report offers
some key indications of how that could be organised in our county.
Bringing together a wealth of local leaders and their sector-by-sector knowledge, we posed our invitees high level questions around
infrastructure and economic growth. We co-produced with them, an
agenda under the heading "What does Norfolk need to thrive?" and
then recorded the thirty conversations that emerged in response
to that agenda. These topics covered critical issues affecting the
county with participants joining by expertise and interest. Each
conversation was hosted by an expert from UEA, who also recorded
the dialogue in prose form. A full account of each conversation
makes up section four of this report.
