The Government has announced that all Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), including SEEDA, will close by 31 March 2012.
Responsibility for economic development and regeneration in England is being passed onto successor bodies, including Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and central Government departments
Our objective is to ensure a professional and cost effective closure by this date. We have pledged to work closely with our partners, contractors and stakeholders to ensure that the past and future economic benefits of key programmes and assets continue to deliver the greatest economic value for the South East and value for money for the taxpayer.

Economic Intelligence and Research
Professional policy making at national, regional and sub-regional levels should use the best available evidence from a wide range of sources with primary and secondary research being the raw ingredient of high quality information.
SEEDA Research & Economics Team (based within Strategy Department) provided expert advice and analysis on the South East economy and the economic development issues facing the region and its sub-regions. Our analysis provided a sound basis for the policy and investment decisions facing SEEDA and its partners.
