About SEEDA
Built environment is a hugely important economic sector in its own right and has profound impact on all other business sectors. It is for this reason that the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) has invested in SECBE and others to form six strategic sector consortia addressing:
- Built Environment
- Aerospace
- Marine
- Environmental Technology
- Healthcare Technology
- Digital Content
The South East England Development Agency (SEEDA), as the Regional Development Agency for the South East, is responsible for the sustainable economic development and regeneration of the region
Its aim is to create a prosperous, dynamic and inspirational region by helping businesses compete more effectively, training a highly skilled workforce, supporting and enabling our communities while safeguarding our natural resources and cherishing our rich cultural heritage.
The economy of the South East is the 20th largest in the world and covers the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and East and West Sussex. It is also home to over eight million people and is the largest region in the UK.
SEEDA has been the lead Regional Development Agency (RDA) for the Cons
truction Sector. The core function of this role is to increase regional influence in national policies and regional involvement in developing appropriate delivery mechanisms and to promote best practice. The publication 'Creating a Sustainable Built Environment' focuses on Government as a construction client and shares examples of where RDAs have already embraced best practice within their property activities.
