Business people in Coventry are being given the chance to find out more about the region's Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and to help shape its agenda for 2012.
A LEP Local event, organised by the Federation of Small Businesses and the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, and introduced by Chamber Branch Chair Dhiran Vagdia, is being held at the Ricoh Arena on February 3 between midday and 2.30pm.
The city's three MPs – Bob Ainsworth, Jim Cunningham and Geoffrey Robinson – will also be there along with a range of business people.
Denys Shortt, chair of the CWLEP, said: "We are talking to businesses all the time because our agenda is shaped by those who want to break down the barriers to growth and job creation.
"We have held LEP Local events in Warwickshire and they have proved to be very popular – particularly with those who have not yet played a part in the LEP.
"The more businesses that come along and get involved, the more we can reflect their requirements in the work we do in 2012."
The CWLEP was formed just over a year ago and is a public/private partnership designed to break down the barriers to economic growth.
