Demonstrating impact

The impact we make has been independently validated. Based on an evaluation of £142 million of EEDA investment between 2002-07, an independent report found that for every £1 invested an average of £4.75 of wealth has been created for the East of England economy. Over time these benefits are set to increase to an average return of £7.60 per £1 invested.
