Key Sector Support

The Northwest is home to a number of internationally competitive knowledge-based sectors. Together, these sectors account for 55% of the region’s Gross Value Added.

The NWDA invests heavily in these sectors to make sure they remain at the forefront of their industries. Our investment focuses on business growth, improving productivity and identifying future growth opportunities.

As well as funding skills-related projects within each of these key sectors, the Agency also funds a number of private sector-led cluster organisations providing support to businesses.
