Moving Forward: The Northern Way

The Northern Way is a unique initiative, bringing together the cities and regions of the North of England to work together to improve the sustainable economic development of the North towards the level of more prosperous regions.

Formed as a partnership between the three northern Regional Development Agencies (Yorkshire Forward, Northwest Regional Development Agency and One NorthEast), we also work with local authorities, universities, the private sector and other partners to secure a strong coalition in support of this goal.

We aim to influence policy and delivery at a local, city region, regional and national level, to join up thinking and encourage collaboration.
