1. We have published our draft Economic Development Strategy
East Devon District Council is developing a new, five-year *Economic Development Strategy [
]* (EDS) for East Devon that will help to address our core economic challenges.
We are seeking feedback from our business community, stakeholders, and organisations on the first draft of the Strategy [
].
We are holding a district wide consultation between the *19 February 2024* and *10** March 2024* via an online survey.
This is your chance to help shape our Strategy and tell us what critical challenges you are facing and which actions you feel we need to prioritise.
*Complete the survey* [

*2. A new round of business grant funding to go live in April 2024*
We are pleased to announce the third round of East Devon's *Innovation and Resilience Fund (IRF3)* [
] which is due to go live for expressions of interest in April 2024.
Businesses can apply for between £3,000 and £30,000 to fund a transformational project which will lead to the creation of high value jobs or an increase in productivity. Applicants will need to match-fund at least 30% of the total project cost.
Businesses with an idea for a funding bid can come along to one of two *drop-in sessions* to discuss their idea with an EDDC officer in the Economic Development team:
* *Thursday 21 March from 10am to 11:30am [
]*
* *Thursday 21 March from 4pm to 5:30pm [
]*
Both sessions will be held at the East Devon Business Centre [
], Honiton, EX14 1SF.
