Beyond the Bottom Line: How Enterprise Drives Inclusive Growth

This project was supported by the North East Enterprise Agency and was produced in collaboration with Insights North East, Durham University and Innovation Catalyst.

This report, Beyond the Bottom Line: How Enterprise Drives Inclusive Growth, examines how enterprise contributes to inclusive growth in the North East of England. Drawing on research with entrepreneurs, enterprise support providers, and policymakers, and a detailed review of current and emerging evidence, the report shows that enterprise also plays a vital role which goes beyond the typical growth, jobs and productivity framing. The report introduces a new way of understanding and measuring enterprise value that better reflects the realities of the North East economy and the goals of inclusive, place-based growth.

On 9 October, Insights North East and the North East Enterprise Agency (NEEAL) hosted an engaging evening exploring how enterprise can drive inclusive economic growth across the North East. The event brought together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share new research findings and discuss how to build a thriving regional economy that works for everyone.
