Strategic Investment Framework

(SIF) sets out the vision and strategy for supporting the enhancement of business support and developing an enterprise culture, particularly in deprived areas.

Economic indicators show that Torbay’s economy has not been developing at the same rate as other areas in the South West. The SIF outlines an ambitious programme of work to stimulate the economy through enterprise.

Through extensive research and consultation, the SIF has identified that for Torbay to achieve its economic potential it needs to improve its connectivity:

Between businesses and business support providers;
Between businesses and deliverers of specialist business support services;
Between businesses, so that they can collaborate on the joint tendering, marketing, product development etc.;
Between businesses and potential customers; and
With prospective investors in business opportunities in the Bay
